I’ll be straight with it. I’m a smoker, I smoke inside, I have a PC that is also inside. I want to clean my PC thoroughly to buy it a few more years. I know about the q tip method, and the compressed air, and general methods of cleaning out gunk and junk from PC parts. But this boy is way too gunked up for a regular cleaning. So, I reckon, the easiest way to clean it is to dunk the dirtiest parts in a bath of isopropyl alcohol. I was considering acetone at first, but it’s way too strong of a solvent, and alcohol should be better at dissolving organic residues. Is this a good idea?

I hereby submit this query to the council, and await judgement.

    Fair play, man. Like I say, I used to smoke indoors and it’s weird that, once society in my country changed, it started to feel really strange to smoke inside.

    I wouldn’t be feeling insulted. Your life, your choice bud.

      The insulting part was “but have you thought about…” Yes. In fact I did. I did entertain the possibility.

      I’m not saying you were trying to insult me with that, but I did feel insulted. That may be a problem on my part though.

      Wish you well.

        Wasn’t meant to be insulting. It never occurred to me until the smoking ban in my country. As this is a global platform, I didn’t know if smoking was legal or not in yours. Smoking inside was normal for me growing up, but I’m nearly in my 50s.
