Today I took notice that we got a desktop computer standing quite close to a sandblaster. The backside and all the cables are covered in a thick layer of dust, I don't wish to take a look what the inside looks like.
Our computers we have in our production environment tends to get clogged with a residue of oil which tends to make the plastic brittle. I wonder what the combination of oily air and sand dust will do.

Presumably the sand is used to coat the chicken nuggets?

Multipurpose, I would think - They also use it when they bake the buns...

If you don't need expansion slots or outstanind performances I'd suggest to search for fanless computers - many manifacturers sell this kind of insulated PCs.
They tend to overheat and often have average performances, but work very well in corrosive or wet environments.

You can also get a "single board" PC with no disk or anything else needed: Have a Google for PC104.
I've seen them used in exercise equipment where they were supposed to be in a sweat, humidity, and spit proof box, but weren't for cost cutting purposes. The company (Shapemaster) went bust fairly quickly...and corrosion was just one of the reasons!

Thank you. I worked for a year or so on a PC104 several years ago but then forgot entirely the name of the architecture and wasn't able to find it in any way

Atm I'm kinda curious on how long it will survive. It's been there quite some time already and survived dripping water from the roof and all sorts of (ab)use.
Should it become an issue we could also try to position it differently or just put up some sort of protection. At least it's position prevents most of the dust from getting to the printer.

Ah you remember me of 67 old PCs that resisted to an unknown amount of rainwater that came crashing down the whole lab, due to heavy amounts of uninterrpupted rain for days and the breaking of the roof - in the lab there was at least half a meter of water and it soaked all the comupters up to half their height.
20 of them never woke up and another score of them slowly died over the next year. We did all that was possible to prolong their suf save them but in vain.

IP69k machines are the norm in many places - that allows washing with high pressurized high temperature water. In the Food Industry it is almost a standard.

Anandtech's reviewed a few fanless computers over the last year or so. If you're not pegging them at 100% load, in a normal environment they did well thermally. I don't think they did any sort of hotbox testing to simulate a factory floor though.

Why, oh esteemed Nagy; yes: why subject yourself to this durance vile ? Why not roll on in the wagon you are so familiar with you no longer hear its wooden wheels creak ... while others work for Sauron of Redmond for free, sacrificing their sanity so sometime down the line, about the time when service pack three is released, you actually have a stable operating wagon ?
cheers, Bill
