Hmmm, while cleaning my computer.

As 2:00 in the morning rolled around I decided to clean my computer since it's been running a bit warm.
Anyway I open the case, and wouldn't know it, a spider made it his home. I couldn't believe it, I have never seen this in all of my years in owning a system. The last time I cleaned it was about 6 or 7 months ago. So through all the winter months he hunkered down inside to weather out the hard winter.

I wouldn't say that is what was making my system run a bit warmer than normal, but it sure didn't help it any.

I think you may be right. I mean this little guy was busy in there.... Made me laugh at first, then worry kicked in.

I'll see your spider and raise you !!

I found a dead, presumably electrocuted, rat in my computer once here in Zimbabwe. It was the smell that finally made it noticed, not any malfunction.

Beats bugs in the system any day.

Perhaps, it was trying to connect to the World-Wide-Web !

Haaaa, now that must have smelled something horrible. Nothing like barbecue, and playing a game or two.

Rather amazing what can be living in things, and not having any malfunction, that must be one heck of a computer.
