   Driving home wearing my n95 with the windows down, because there's eight AT towers in the back of the car, and I'm worried the vibration might aerosolize all that rust

     @miah @bytex64 yeah. I have a single computer part (a tape drive) that's currently sitting in storage double bagged because of this. I could smell how smokey it was before I even opened the ebay box, and I'm anosmic!

     @bytex64 @foone Or if previous owners were smokers..

     The number of times I worked on a PC in the 90's (when people still smoked in offices) and wished I had gloves / mask.

     @foone Depending on where they were stored and how many open expansion slot apertures there were, you also have the risk of aerosolized mouse poop. So… good call!

     This is like that image of an SUV with a bunch of deer in it, except instead of deers, it's NT4 servers
