Spackling with PC

Flowey

So yeah I have quite the hole in my wall and need to fill it up with spaclking. Now after I'm done filling it in of course I'll need to sand off the excess. Problem is, the hole is like 5 feet from my PC, so I'm wondering if I should just cover both the PC and the desk, including monitors, with a blanket' or just remove it all from the room, do my thing then get my stuff back in?

I'm sure covering it will be fine as long as you cover the entire thing. Just think about what's going to happen when you start sanding off the excess spackling.

Yes that's what I was most worried about, all that dust and shit in the air. Covering it all with a blanket shall do the job then

Move your computer into a different room until it's cleaned up

Use a vacuum, a wide floor attachment held upside down under where you're sanding will catch most of the dust.

Both of these are better options than just covering it with a blanket. Little more work, but definitely better for the health of the computer (and yourself!)
