I was wondering, do you think smoke can hurt the inside of my comp? I'm talking about marijuana smoke. I have a window on my comp and lighting and it looks cool when I blow a big cloud of smoke in from of my front intake fan, and it sucks it in.. then the smoke is all lit up spiffy colors inside my comp and then is sucked out the back by the rear out blowing fan. Can this damage the comp? I don't plan on doing it a lot or anything.

oops.. this probably wasn't the best place to post this question. I wouldn't mind if an Admin moves it to the General Hardware forum.
Thanks!

I read somewhere that it is possible for a hard drive to be damaged by smoke. The space between the reading arm and platter is so small that even a smoke molecule is too big to fit through. So I would'nt recommend doing it anymore.
Hard drives are sealed, so that shouldn't be a problem, but there are many components that are open and can be damaged. Not to mention that smoke contains all sorts of nasty substances that can damage electrical components. So I wouldn't recommend it.Quote:

Yes, Not a very good idea. I would suggest doing it very rarly (entertain friends LOL) Or just not at all. Depends on your take on the situation.
