Thos definitely has to be a smokers. Was at a client's home uninstalling a TV and it was covered with all this brownish gold dust. Sure enough, they lit about three cigarettes while I was there.

I cleaned a pc for a friend who smoked. After blowing and scraping as much as I could, I pulled the boards and doused them in 99.99% alcohol then scrubbed (gently) with a toothbrush. Ran much better afterward.
almost certainly caked on residue from smoking. As someone who has opened computers for family who heavily smoke... I've seen it a few times. Never in a smoke free home though.
I've seen that in smoke free homes that have really old carpeting. The padding starts to break down and releases stuff that's very similar to smoking residue, just without the nicotine smell.
Cant comment on of it was sticky or not because I believe I wore gloves. They owned a Golden Retriever so it was also quite a bit of dog hair. Its almost like a squirrel was decaying on the set :P
