[OT] how to clean grime off old computer MB?



Hello all,

I have a couple of new-to-me old computers. They've been well used in
what looks like a normal office environment and they're a bit grimey
inside; not just dust that blows away. I figure that I should clean
that off so the dust doesn't act like a thermal insulator but I'm unsure
what to use, since air alone isn't doing it. I don't want to remove
e.g. the CPU from its socket. (P-133, socket 7).

What have you used sucessfully?

This is at home so I'm not set up for, e.g. a chemical bath.

Doug.

    ... No, it must be UDP, although I think that if I use TCP, the problem will be the same because is the IP layer who makes the fragments and how my socket is listening at IP level I get IP fragments and not complete datagrams. ...
