Offtopic: PC sloth leads to WoW headaches.
Q: It’s summer here and my computer seems to be overheating a lot. It’s slow to respond, and makes a grinding noise sometimes. When I play World of Warcraft, sometimes my game locks up and I get stuck on loading screens for ages.
There seems to be a little bit of dust on the case – when is a good time to clean it out?
A: Oh, right about now is probably a good time, I would imagine.

Look how festive! It’s a little snow scene!
*whistles Winter Wonderland*
Edit: In response to a question from a guild member – yes, Azjol Nerub is actually located inside my home computer:

My name is Emma and I live in Australia. I’ve been gaming on and off since I was about 11. I won’t tell you exactly how long ago that was, let’s just say long enough.

Keeva, muffin? Sorry to burst your bubble, but I live in Canada so I’m something of an expert on this. And had you not mentioned “snow”, I would never have even thought of snow as a result of your photo.
You do, however, appear to have a most impressive collection of spiders.

One day I opened up one of my computers and found a red backed spider making itself at home.
(dun dun dunnnnnn)
Couldn’t find any spiders this time, I think it got too dusty and webby in there and they moved out.

Y’know, this seems like a fun opportunity for SHARING.
So here’s what the inside of mine looks like:

Hee, mine was a dust monster, but I dont remember any webs nearly so impressive as those! When it went in to be serviced though, and I was so embarrased about the dust, they just told me to be happy there wasnt a cockroach inside, like on another machine they’d serviced…
And not being an expert on Australian wildlife, except knowing you have a quite impressive collection of poisonous spiders and snakes there, I take it a redback is not a good thing?

It’s not a bug, it’s an undocumented creature.
(Ok, I admit it – not my joke, it’s from video game Discworld II. Good punchlines, incredibly tedious buildups.)
@Kayeri: A redback spider is a lot like a black widow with a danger sign on it. Not a good thing at all.

Ha, danger sign – that’s awesome

Yipe! That is, um, yow.
Mine is probably equally full of cat hair, and should probably also be dusted out. >_>
