dust

The back side of a desktop computer with an extreme amount of dust and pet hair, making it appear as the dustiest computer ever seen. The dust should be extremely thick, forming a dense, almost solid layer that covers every part of the computer's back. It should be difficult to even distinguish the ports and cables due to the heavy accumulation of dust and pet hair. The image should convey an extreme level of neglect and lack of cleaning, with the dust and hair almost transforming the appearance of the computer.
