From a friends un-healthy PC that was broke. Thing is, that wasn't even the problem, the problem was the power supply had blown a capacitor. Still, it all worked once I'd cleaned it and put a new power supply in.

Two years on and still not seen worse in any computer maintenance that I've done. This though is another matter: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/11/18/ventblockers_2/ |

 Why smoking is bad for your PC   How dirty your PC is says a lot about you. These disgusting, never been cleaned pictures of a relatively new PC, which has the look of an off-roading aftermath, is laced with not only dust, but nicotine and what looks like mud, chocolate, cat hair and let’s throw in some dryer lint. I’ve had PC’s in the past that have never seen a duster and they didn’t look a fraction of what these pigs look like. (I clean my PC every 3 months to make sure it doesn't overheat because of dust)

| To be fair, with the amount of dust sat on that heatsink yet the relatively spotless memory modules beyond it, its suspect  However, love the keyboard Stereotyping ftw!
