Is this bad for a pc?

Hi I know that cigarette smoke in a smallish room will leave a yellow film
to everything and is not good for a pcs internal parts, but I like to use
incense sticks 4 at a time in an upright box, is this not healthy for pc's?

Thanks GK.

The incomplete combustion products emitted by various smoldering organic
materials is not good for your health or the health of anything else which
is going to be bothered by the increased atmospheric pollution and
precipitated chemicals.

Some snips from the wiki^1: Research carried out in Taiwan in 2001 linked
the burning of incense sticks to the slow accumulation of potential
carcinogens in a poorly ventilated environment by measuring the levels of
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (including benzopyrene) within Buddhist
temples. The study found gaseous aliphatic aldehydes, which are
carcinogenic and mutagenic, in incense smoke^2 --

Why is it that you want to be smoldering incense sticks 4 at a time in a
closed environment?

The ventilation of the computer is going to invite/circulate the smoky
residue into the computer parts which electrostatic influences are going
to precipitate the gunk into all kinds of places. I don't think the
computer is going to derive any spiritual benefit from the contamination.

Very funny and very true lol

I'll be kind to my pc's and not burn any near them....

Thanks for the info.

Tar/nicotine is a very nice isolator, no problem.

Truthfully, no. By the time any accumulation of cigarette smoke on
components will be problematic, if at all, the computer will have been
retired from service long, long ago.

There were a lot of rumors about such damage, which I feel migrated over
from the mainframe crowd, whose computers also never experienced impairment
from cigarette smoke. Some folks just don't like cigarette smoke, that's
all.

It probably covers the smell of 3 week old unwashed sexed up sheets from some
solo act,

The old Winchester disk drives were liable to be damaged by cigarette
smoke. In those drives even .3 micron dust particles were potentially
dangerous. Head crashes were not uncommon at all. How do I know? I used
to fix them.

The biggest problem is that a tar film forms and dust adheres
to it. In very damp conditions this could cause conductive
leakage. The biggest problem is that if this tar/dust combo
builds up on heatsink fins, the heat dissipation efficiency of the
heatsink will be reduced. It's almost impossible to dislodge
this gooey film by normal means. The heatsink would have
to be soaked in a cleaning solvent.

Not really. I've a pair of 120mm front/back plane fans straight
across a 4-bay HD cage. A regular cyclone tunnel, fuzzball city
inside. Antec Lanboy impress-your-friends aluminum concept design.
Here it sits, ASUS A64/3Ghz 756, going on five years and never got to
go to the big party. Did however lock up the processor awhile ago
until I cleaned the front grill. Mostly too lazy to diagram and
disassemble and wash the various assemblage inside clean with alcohol,
although I have stuck the floor vacuum cleaner's wand inside a few
times.

A school teacher once brought me her Dell to fix. She'd done
something like that with a bottle of perfume. Very nice and clean
except for broke. Bit of a retch factor, I suppose not my favorite,
but not even near problems she was experiencing. Verily, worst I've
been given to date was the "computer & functional stand" for a
parakeet cage. Words couldn't even begin to describe... Personally,
I like incense. Burn some for me, too, eh bub.
