    xBack in the 90s there was a fad of cases with digital readouts showing
    xthe clock speed. My friend lived in such squalor, cockroaches and
    xcigarette butts everywhere, we used to joke the number on his case was
    xactually for occupancy.

      xI was going to ask - is OP hitting it with a stick to see what crawls

    xOnce it gets this bad it?s best to just leave it alone, you risk things
    xfalling apart that are just held together by dirt and shit.

      xI once worked in a large manufacturing plant.  Think "high dust food
      xproduction".  We had many computers on the floor that look far worse
      xthan this inside.  As in, you take the panel off and couldn't see the
      xmotherboard.

      xIt's a cute headline, but this isn't why the machine is slow.

        xThe plant I work at has extremely dusty food and our computers are
        xall pretty clean, the PCs are passively cooled thin clients that are
        xinside a mostly sealed metal desk, one of the machines I run has the
        xhmi running off a shitty old windows xp machine but it stays clean
        xbecause it's cooled by compressed air so it's under positive pressure
        xany time the machine is on.
        x
        xThere's a lot of really janky crap equipment in my plant but all the
        xIT stuff seems to at least be built for industrial use

          xAh XP. Still outclassed as the superior OS I see.

            xIt has the operation manual in a PDF, one time I made the mistake
            xof opening it, acrobat reader 5 launched and I had to take my
            xbreak late because it was completely unresponsive for 20 minutes
            xand I couldn't turn off my machine
