Canned Air the dust out, disassemble everything, go over -all- the parts (case fans included) with antistatic brushes and more canned air.
Will probably need Isopropyl Alcohol and sewing machine oils for the fans as well as they'll be sticky.

With the only things that matter: the heatsink and fans.
The rest of your computer doesn't give a shit if it's dirty.

how about using a vacuum or blower and spray everything with brake cleaner and alcohol wipes

Just take it outside and blast it with a metric fuckton of canned air.

Realize that it will stink like shit even after you cleaned it.

I'd say your best bet is to use an air compressor if you have one.

>get some thermal paste
>take that damn thing apart.
>completely. unseat processor, disconnect drives, fans, etc from power and data buses and remove them, remove everything from PCI slots, the whole 9 yards
>clean the fuck out of everything with canned air, air compressor, isopropyl alcohol, etc
then put it back together


holy fuck OP, your friend is a disgusting fuck, that is BAD

This machine is alive now.

after you're done cleaning it up burn an incense candle inside the case to hopefully lower the nicotine smell

oh dogs how disgusting

I once repaired a scanner for a smoker. Its head positioning relied on it reading some black and white marks on the inside of the glass, and it was so stained with tar and shit that it couldn't recognise them anymore.

I have the same case. I will pay $8 for a hard drive caddy. PM me OP.

you obv never tried it. check out youtube videos on it nibba

>dissolves plastics
>nibba
No, and no.

Brake cleaner doesn't dissolve plastics

>buying anything from a smoker ever

>Realize that it will stink like shit even after you cleaned it.
I've cleaned hardware that was like op's image with a handbroom, and rubbing alcohol, and it did not have an odor afterwards.

This is the best thing that you can do OP.

look at this beauty

Take the whole thing outside, remove the PSU and hard drives at the very least, consider purchasing artist brushes to help dust off the big chunks and one of these guys:

But it dissolves skin

I dont undersand, is this mostly
dust or a byproduct of tobacco smoke grime?

Mostly dust, mixed with smoke and tar.

its mostly dust. thats what happens when people who cant afford to buy vacuum buys computers instead

>The rest of your computer doesn't give a shit if it's dirty.
Oh sweet summer child.

are you some kind of idiot?

With a vacuum cleaner.

>Oh sweet summer child.
what are you going on about? it's fucking april you mong

Yep, tar and dust. It makes a nice gooey substance. A duster/vacuum/blower won't get it out, you have to do it by hand with cleaning wipes.

Looks fine to me, just put it back on.
