I had a co-worker that built custom computers as a side job. A customer brought a recent build back to his shop with problems. I don't recall exactly what. Once inside the case, he found a dark film over everything, with evidence of carbon tracing.

He cleaned everything up and the computer was good to go again. He delivered it to the customer to hook things back up and also to try and figure out what caused the problem. Come to find out, the lady loved burning candles, to the extent of burning one next to her computer.

He explained how the smoke from the candle was being pulled inside by her case fan and was leaving carbon residue on everything. She quit that habit, which solved the problem.
