Re: Get smoke smell out of computer

Take out the hard drive and put it in another box?

Do all-in-ones accept a dual monitor? Put the offending box on an outside porch and add a wireless remote screen? Go to Best Buy and ask them for choices?

But tell the boss there will be costs. Fires cost money or time lost. His choice.

It reeks of smoke. Anyone experienced in any tricks to get rid of the
smell? I can google for solutions myself (like vinegar, etc), just curious
as to any actual experiences here.

Thanks.
