One of my teachers told me smoke kills your HDD by creating a film on the platters I think he may be right but I don't know how it would get in there do HDD's have ventilation holes ??

it's possible I suppose, it would depend on the hardrive model.

That is just NASTY!
Now if his computer is that bad, Imagine his house and his curtains or window blinds or his walls. Move a wall picture it would probably have an outline around it like it had been there ages. I assume his next PC will only come to look the same down the road. Interesting since project. People spend all that money for anti smoking adds, they should see this guys PC.. lol

it's possible I suppose, it would depend on the hardrive model.
All hard drives have a vent hole in them to equalize pressure - a sealed sea-level made drive would have bulging issues if used in mountainous regions. The vent hole normally has a silica packet and a fine filter to keep contaminants out, but constant smoke could theoretically work its way past the filter. As for the PC, that isnt all that bad. I've seen similar here at my office after 2 or so years - a non-smoking environment. Pure dust hell. I opened up an older dell and about half the case was filled up with a dust bunny looking thing. Bleh, I just sneezed thinking about it. ~Fus EDIT: I found a link for bad cases: http://www.theregister.co...09/11/13/ventblockers/

They should just make it part of the ATX standard.
