If it was that I would have found it hoovering it, My kids then blew it everywhere with compressed air.

air cans get very wet, wrap them up.

Have you checked the cd-rom drive for cheese sandwiches?

my Occupational Therapist said the room smells, I said its my PC, as she walked near the smell got stronger, she confirmed its my PC.

You wasted your OTs time with your personal PC hygiene .... honestly!   -)

You could just spray it with Oust!

EDIT:  Perhaps it is your OT that smells and you are blaming your poor old PC

ok

take everything out and run it outside of the case

Thats a sensible suggestion if you know how.

You may find the smell is coming from inside the PSU or somewhere else not visible/accessible, it could be a wire touching something hot and the plastic smouldering, it could be quite a few things. You need to isolate the component causing the smell as best you can.

Or submerge the whole thing in oil, ask knighty about that.

I do know how, but this stupid disability stops me, bending over and sniffing, perfect, impossible for me, how stupid.

Its a pain in the ass this f**king PC, my headache is bad, I cant even swap it for Leilas, Ill insist Novatech replace it.

If its under warranty ask Novatech, There are quite a few things that can smell, including the capacitors. Its very difficult to detect which component(s) are to blame unless you have the computer in front of you and are able to do so.
