Don't feel bad. Its not that bad. I've seen a lot worse.

Between my pets and my computers, I would take the computers to the trash dump any day.

Ewwwww. Thats nasty. Well at least you can see now how much of the rad is not getting airflow from the motor being in the way! Get some shrouds!

that was not as bad as I expected! And the McRes is still in good shape, stained maybe, but no micro cracks.

Wow, this is very similar to a thread I just made a few days ago, but 100 times worse. I have never seen computers grow like that! I would feel bad cleaning it out because at this point your computer is now a living object, and as a Buddhist I don't want to kill anything that is alive :-)

You are not saying that you wash the fans without even taking them apart are you? sorry.. I am that clueless..

u submerge the fans in water and shake the living crap out of them inside the water.

Dont worry, alex showed everyone on XS that yates work submerged in water and pink lemonade!

:rofl:

so all you really want to do is just let them bake outside in the sun tomorrow to dry.

just turn them on under water :P

i would rather get a paper towel and wipe them down...

surely water will stay in some parts of the housing

it really isnt needed
just use an old toothbrush

I clean fans my fans using a wet/damp cloth and then to dry them turn the oven on to the lowest setting and put them in there for 10-20minutes.

ANP !!!

Tygons seem to turn Yellow/green in hot ambient conditions, My total of 30feet of Tygons turned Yellow, due to hot weather at my location, So I finally moved to R3400 black tygons :D.

use baby wipes to clean fans easy.

radiator, a nice shower of water thru the fins then let sun dry.
