http://www.tomshardware.com/picturestory/671-dirt-filth-mess-computer-pc.html These are 40 pictures of the dirtiest PC's. I have only seen a few that were bad when I tore them apart, but nothing like this. Some of them aren't as bad as other, granted. But when there is fur growing on everything, I just want to grab a hose and spray it down..

I think some people do all that on purpose. Like the one with the cigarettes and ashes everywhere. But that is SOOOOOO F-ing gross with all those spiders and bug poop in your PC.  Man goes to show how damn dirty a lot of people are. So shameful and that is an understatement. If they cant keep a simple PC clean just imagine how dirty their houses are and how dirty they are with their hygiene.

Most people don't think about how dirty the PC they bought at Walmart is, just like 99% of us will never remove the fridge to dust it out. Anything with a fan or vented, electronic components, or frequent temperature/humidity changes needs to be cleaned at some point. Another problem is that when your PC gets to that point, cleaning it out usually kills it.

HAZ, I've been to pet owner's houses that were pretty clean and their computer looked like some of the pictures - a la those hairy Dells. Its like srtie4k says, its treated like an appliance and people just dont move their ovens to clean the grease splatter after cooking bacon. ~Fus

My CM HAF 932 is the best air filtration sys money can buy.
What the case fans dont catch, the 770 does.

Hahaha! I clean my filters often, but I definitely want better. They seem to catch a good amount, but definitely not everything.

Yeah, I've tried filters in the past, and they can work well, but it's still best to just blow out or vacuum out the dust when necessary.

Ya good point about the fridge.  But what do you mean by people dont think how dirty their PC is when they buy it at Walmart? There in a box and wrapped right so they are protected from dust? O ya after seeing those pics I decided to go pull out my air filter again and place it in my bedroom with my PC.
