This one was a customers I am fixing..
omg, defrag it right now!
lol, sure, right after I despider it
When was the last time you opened it? Years?
It isn't my PC.. I am fixing it for a customer....
My PC's don't get like that.
The only reason a spider would build webs in there would be if other insects were routinely passing through there (ants for example).
Sounds like your customer has an insect infestation problem. When they come to pick it up, you should tell them to consider having an inspection done (if they aren't already complacently aware).
Sucks for you - because now you have more spiders in your house.
Take it one step further and frag it now. :)Quote:

That should fix the problem.
who said there was a problem?
It was being repaired for a totally unrealted issue. I just tend to open up the PCs to clean them out if they are really dirty. This one just happened to be REALLY dirty.
That PC looks perfectly healthy to me...
thats was totally random!
No it wasn't. to us educated members of CC, it actually makes perfect sense.
And I'm not joking. It really does.
maybe that is what is inside his PC?Quote:

If when you mean educated, you mean members who've spent their whole pointless life logging onto vbforums and posting stuff since they were 5, then I totally agree.Quote:

You have either a Compaq or a Hewlett Packard computer.
Which web browser did you use to find the spider?
By the way, that amount of web would take a spider all of about an hour to create. After that it collected dust from years of ventilation. Therefore, you needn't worry about insect infestation. A single spider thought they had a good thing going, wandered about building a half-assed web, then stepped into the CPU fan and became puree. No insects needed to be present for any of that to happen. Also, I'm guessing about the demise of the spider, but this is the age of Hollywood, so a gruesome, theoretical, dismemberment is about right.
Thats wrong shaggy, the spider was surking his web when he got a phone call from Jill, his girlfriend spider, needles to say the male spider got lucky, then seriously unlucky, after Jill ate him post intercourse.
for the spider to build a web in the pc there must have been a payoff for it... i wonder how many other insects were living in there too :eek: maybe you need to send that pc to a pest control guy?
I have a custom built computer.Quote:

For the Nth time, this ISN'T my computer...
Here is another one I worked on a few months back, allthough I don't think its bad, this one actually had a dead spider in it. You can see it in the top pick near the lip of the bottom part of the case

How can you let your pc's get dusty like that?
People who don't know how to use computers don't bother opening them up ;)
Once, I did some work on my computer, and put my side panel back on. A couple weeks later I smelled something weird, and opened it up. I found a half empty carton of chocolate milk....
Are you sure your pc is a custom? It looks very Compay/HP to me.
It's not his pc...Quote:

Looks like a crime scene!
Did CSI even test that stain in the lower left portion of your pc?
I found dried orange juice on one of my memory chips. No idea how it got there. I don't drink orange juice. Guess the spider was thirsty. Computer was randomly resetting. I cleaned off the dried juice and computer is back to normal. And i can assure you no spiders in my case now. I keep it open for a daily tinkering/inspection. The side only goes on when i have guests.
Smoke... coz if smoke goes out of it means my PC is dead.
Awww....that's so adorable :D they do say they often have lots of spontaneous sex with many different partners, sometimes simultaneously.Quote:

Kleinma I can't beleive you let your PC get infested with spiders like that. As soon as I see a spider it is dead, nevermind in my PC. Saying that though.. my 1996 dell poweredge 4400 meter long thing is probably a hive of tarantulas.
I guess im just lazy
This guy's computer actually has an ant farm in the case window.http://images.g4tv.com/images/ttv/gr...rs/3433919.jpg
Why o why would anyone want that:confused:Quote:

I have enough bugs to deal with every day - ants would not be appreciated...
the guy who made it said he wanted to come up with an idea that would shock the modding community. But he had "modder's block" so fell back to his stand-by idea.
I modded my laptop buy drinking some beer. It also saves modding my laptop.
careful with alcohol around computers. Ever see the movie "Electric Dreams"?
Is it in your task description to photograph each pc you fix?Quote:

Wrong link... there is only one official VBF link, and if you don't know it, you are a n00b.
Hence putting his initials next to it. :rolleyes:Quote:
