Ya, I hide my smokes in my case. I have a window so I stick the box behind the hard Drive tray. Im only 15 so if my parents caught me they would kick my ***. Im not a regular smoker, I just have one about once a week :}
 
ickypoo...i despise and hate cigaretes with all of my heart and soul.
dude you should stop before you get addicted (and dont tell me you wont because thats what they all say) do you know how bad those peices of **** rolled up in paper are for you????????
porn on the other hand isnt too bad :p
 
yeah shellshock, if i was you i would quit smoking!

i smoke. and i hate it. i'd give anything to have my full lung capaicity back. once you get addicted, its SOOOOO hard to quit. you have no idea. i didn't think i'd get addicted. thats when a pack lasted me for over a week easily. now look at me, smoking a pack a day! it feels like it happend over night!

trust me, throw away those cigs, and hide porn in your computer!! porn won't cause you any damage to your body down the road. but cigs on the other hand...will cost you your heath, AND a carton of cigs will cost more than a porn.

heh, but honestly, one cig a week? you could easily quit. and take it from someone who smokes, you should quit.

Found a dust bunny that actually looked like as bunny. Too the 15 year old, I'm about the same age as you and was a smoker from the end of 8th to the begining of my 9th-10th grade summer, I am glad I quit when I did. I didn't do it all at once though, I went to dip, then from dip to chew and now am almost completely tobacco free. Less than a whole can of dip since December.

My dad's computer at work, him and my mother work together and both smoke has to be cleaned atleast once a week for it to not overheat, it sits right beside their ashtray and collects more smoke than the air purifier on the other side of the room. I finally tought the pops how to do it so I don't have to look at evil dust.
 
I have no idea how a computer can become 'caked' in tobacco/nicotine/tar.

I smoke, my computer(s) have never yellowed abnormally, the motherboards have always been pristine, the fans get a bit of grey dust on, but no more than I imagine would be on other computers (in my room with all the dust anyway). And there is never more than a just noticable film of dust on the inside of the case.

I don't clean them regularly. Its usually when I get a new mobo or something 'big'. Or like when I had to fit seven drives in my main comp.
 
smokin' is VERY bad.... especially when your computer does it. You ought to force you computer to kick the habit, get rid of those smokes before it kills itself of emphysema or something...
 
hmm... just had a recent one.... was workin' on a local ladie's computer.... and found a spider's web with a FULL EGGSACK inside her compy... needless to say.... it got fragged....

oh god that's hideous

i mean, come on, he should at least be using rounded cables in that thing...
I think you are focusing on the wrong thing.
He needs to route the flat cables better, not get rounded ones. Flat cables are the best.
Only thing I have really found is dust, my dorm room is pretty bad about that, but it seems the filters on my Stacker are working. Now, if I could only find the money I tossed in that box...
