In my case, it was spider's nests and smoke damage. Maybe someone here

Scroll to the end to see the "March 1991" and later entries. Hey, I
know it wasn't a PDP-8 or some goofy Cromemco hardware, but it was my
first owned-by-me-not-the-university-or-library personal computer and it
still holds a special place in my heart.

I have had a
TERRIBLE problem with mice out in the garage. I've
learned that you NEVER put a PC out there without blank card
brackets in ALL open card slots and drives installed in ALL open
media holes. [...]
This reminds me of an Apple ][ that was brought in for repair... these
didn't have any real barrier in the back of the case where the slots
were. Inside was a mouse nest :-)
