I knew it all along...i never believed that you had a pc :D :D
and i actually quite like the vicks idea..it would make the room smell really cool, and couldnt possibly do any harm :unsure: - in fact, i bet there is no caveat on the vicks, so if it goes wrong, i can claim a new pc from them!
I think i'll try it after the "cleaning" method :D

ah, them pesky etch-a-sketches...i heard strong magnets can be pretty dangerous for them!
anyhow, ive got some fancy cleany stuff, and some air in a can and have spent the morning blasting the pc...after having left it to air off for a few days, and will hopefully be in a position to switch it on later...will keep you posted as to what happens!
Have you found your problem, burning smells ussually come from the power supply. To get rid of smell in case remove everything including mother board . Clean with a citrus cleaner should get rid of smell.
Thanks to all who replied...The smell was definitely from the people from whom i liberated the pc smoking far too much (when i opened her up, there were bits of tobacco stuck in the fans :sick: )
Anyhow, I stripped it all out, and scrubbed the case with anything i could find which had an "ok" smell, i air-blasted the lot and used some of the contact cleaner, but in the end, there is still a distinct whiff..
so i decided to return the pc to its owners.
In the end, the promise of a slightly better cpu and SATA HDDs wasnt enough for me to keep it - its not too bad, but slightly annoying that i know the pc is being wasted on minesweeper and msn...it'll never know greater things :frusty:
Cheers anyhow though :D Was def worth a try!
Too bad. :(
