I had a bit of trouble finding out why a computer I was working on this week kept overheating. The processor fan wasn’t too clogged up, and other than a light coating of tar from cigarette smoke it wasn’t too hard to blow out and wipe clean.
Then I took off the front, where most of the air was supposed to come in…

The dust that was embedded inside the front of that case managed to get stuck to the tar, creating an air-tight seal around all of the vent holes.
A public service announcement from PenIsMightier.com:
Your computer is not a smokeless ashtray.
