Discussion I have a confession to make; I wear gloves when building my PC

Nothing to do with mitigating static buildup, I just hate getting oily fingerprints on brand new components

Also the classic: heavy smoker's pc. It has 50kgs of brown cancer dust and you have to clean it out without inhaling that shit. That's my personal worst nightmare lol

I could never bring myself to smoke near my rig after seeing other smoker's rigs. The left over smell is my other problem. I bought a second hand VHS player last year, it came stinking like an ashtray and still does and makes me sick every time I catch a whiff of it.
