Dusty Mac!

My dino G4 FW800 was turning itself off a lot in the hot weather and I figured it had finally bitten the dust. I was right in a way, because dust was the problem. I've never seen dust like this. Sandwiched between the Venti-ports and the metal grate was a mat of solid dust, about 3/4 of an inch thick and getting darker and stickier towards the fan. Im guessing that this is the combination of 6 years of dust, dead skin and tobacco smoke. Wow. Never the less it pulled out like a piece of bread and now the old G4 is singing along once again.
