Dusty computer

Cleaning the dust out of a computer. In this particular case, the owner had been "blowing the dust out" without removing the side panel. The result was a 1/4 inch thick layer of dust on all horizonal surfaces.

There is a drivethru restaurant right behind us, so that is why (as a courtesy to them and they're customers) we blow the dust out inside out own store. We certainly would prefer to do it outside and recommend to our customers that they do so.

did that break any components?

No, the customer was actually running it that way. She brought it in for a memory upgrade. She told us that she had be blowing it out every month, but she never took the cover off. So, she was actually creating hew own problem. We think she was lucky that she wanted more RAM, because I doubt it could've gone much longer without damaging either the motherboard or CPU.
