      I've had good luck using Pursue to kill odors. Pursue is sold by
Amway and it comes in a spray can. In general, it works better than
anything else that I've tried. I haven't tried it on a computer so be
carefull. It may attack plastic. You may want to put some on a rag or
something and then close it and the puter up in a large box for a day or
two to give it time to penetrate. A small fan in the box would probably
help. Let us know how it works.
