I’ll be straight with it. I’m a smoker, I smoke inside, I have a PC that is also inside. I want to clean my PC thoroughly to buy it a few more years. I know about the q tip method, and the compressed air, and general methods of cleaning out gunk and junk from PC parts. But this boy is way too gunked up for a regular cleaning. So, I reckon, the easiest way to clean it is to dunk the dirtiest parts in a bath of isopropyl alcohol. I was considering acetone at first, but it’s way too strong of a solvent, and alcohol should be better at dissolving organic residues. Is this a good idea?
I hereby submit this query to the council, and await judgement.
I don’t think you’ll get the results you are hoping for. I’m not sure it would harm it but you’d need some sort of agitation or scrubbing to actually get it clean. I’d propose a soft toothbrush and iso. Or if you’re dedicated to dunking it, maybe try one of those ultrasonic tubs
