ROACHES! Two of the people I service computers bring me systems
that tend to be roach-laden. My wife forces me to leave the boxes outside
overnight before bringing them in for repair.
Nothing like roach crap, carcuses in cobwebs and the occasional live
critter running in and around the power supply. I litterly have to spray
them
out with air, and them clean out the insides. Roach-infested computers
cost more to fix! ;)

I have. Being a cat owner, I find that I need to clean my systems of
cat-hair on a regular basis.
I've had the displeasure of working on machines used by
someone with quite a large number of cats. As if all the cat hair in
the carpet wasn't bad enough while crawling down to hook/unhook
cables, the hair was also throughout everything from the keyboard and
mouse to the CPU. Not just a few strands, but quite a lot of it.
Quite nasty...
