I opened up my PC case and I noticed that there are these little metal flecks/dust inside the case. They are not big filings, and more like metal dust. To give you an idea of the scope of the problem, I think I counted maybe 10 of them, but maybe there are more underneath the motherboard. There is not a big pile of dust or anything.
I haven't modded my case at all, so I guess they are caused simply by installing and removing components (screwing in parts, removing them; in general, metal bumping against metal). I vacuum/clean out these flecks whenever I see them.
Since lots of people here have had experience building and modding cases, has anyone seen or had any issues with metal dust inside a computer case?
I realize I sound paranoid about this issue but I am really OCD about my PC, so I would appreciate your responses.
