My chimney would have had lesser soot

President's day long weekend - after my gramps left for India, I decided to take a look at my PC and fix it. I had to do it asap as the pressure for delivering DVDs of the temple activities was mounting. So I start to open the cabinet and remove the existing hard drive. The moment I opened the cabinet I felt a sudden rush of blackness into my eyes from no where, like a bolt from the blue, err black. I saw that my power supply, motherboard and the cables were all dirty with black soot all over them. How in the hell did black soot get over to my system? I wondered. Then it struck me like lightening - Mansion Grove apartments. The time when the apartment in Mansion Grove started to get black soot deposited from the faulty Electrical heater system the management people have installed in the apartment. The black soot from that apartment has been living in my computer since then. Probably my chimney would have had lesser soot than what was there inside the cabinet. I had to clean it before I start to put the cover back onto the cabinet. I thought for a moment - "why don't I just try and put in a new hard drive and try to reinstall my windows first and then try all these tricks of cleaning it." So I tried. You want to know what happened? Check out my next blog...
