destinking the computers.

      I wonder if you could use ozone to oxidize the crud in it? Perhaps
you can set the open case on top of a laser printer or something else that
generates ozone. Ozone oxidizes the same way that chlorine does but it
doesn't bleach things out or smell the way that chlorine does. As for
cleaning the debris out, I would take the case to one of the high powered
spray car washes. It may take a while to dry all the water out of all the
cracks and crevices afterwards! A vaccuum oven is great for drying things
like that.
