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.

    I am the danger. I worked with more volatile stuff. I’ve done things that would give an OSHA inspector a stroke, and I’m fine, because I’m not THAT stupid. But thank you for the concern.

        I haven’t died yet. And I did a lot of things that would be considered dangerous. You kind of seem like a killjoy. Not only am I fun at parties, I also still have all my fingers and toes. Can you say the same?
