ShopBot computer HACKED!

Not really, but now that I have your attention, I noticed mini mountains of wood dust inside the computer case. I went ahead and blew it all out, and also concluded that it had one too many chassis fans which does nothing more than suck in more dust to build up inside. I disconnected the front fan, while maintaining the other case, CPU and power supply fans. I then blocked all the various openings other than the one on the side and taped on some filtering material (the stuff used in the overhead filtration system) to try to prevent dust from building up so quickly on the inside. I suggest just keeping an eye on the filter and either blow it out or replace it when it gets all caked up with crud. The End.
