What's the weirdest thing you've found in your computer?

So today while I was playing some BF4, my computer decided to randomly freeze... I then decided to look through the case window into my computer to find a cockroach the size of an American half-dollar coin...

After taking 30+ minutes to get the darn thing out, I asked my brother, "What's the weirdest thing you've found in your computer", with no response...

 

So,

What's the weirdest thing you've found in your computer?

I think if you found a cockroach in your computer you should probably be immediately cleaning your entire damn house and not posting on forums......

I once put a screwdriver inside and forgot about it, then when I needed it a few months after for installing something, I couldn't find it so I opened the case to see if it can't be done by hand and there it was, resting by the PSU. Other than that just some dust...

3 Strippers, 300 dollars, a phenom III CPU and a copy of half life 3.

 

Nah, just my wallet.

So, you're saying you have a rich, horny, time-traveling computer? :P

Why is the God of Hyperdeath SO...DARN...CUTE!?

 

Also, if anyone has their mind corrupted by an anthropomorphic black latex bat, please let me know. I would like to join you.

Good god no... this brings me back to the days I'd open up computers to fix them at my IT repair place and find a bunch of dead roaches or crickets or whatever the hell. It's such a disgusting task, having to remove all the dead filth in a computer... I prefer opening up the case and seeing everything caked with a pound of dust than having to clear our roaches and dead ants.... *cringe*

I've not 'found' this, but I'm aware of several people that hide weed in their PC's

 

By the way, if anyone ever needs to stash things, the secret draw in the CM Storm Trooper is an amazing hiding place.

CM Storm Trooper owner here, can confirm.

Sadly mine is heavily modified to the point where that space is now occupied partially by a fan and partially by a HDD, so the draw part serves as a small box for screws instead.
