After fixing corrosion issues, they cracked open the LAN Center PCs, poked through gunk-filled tubing, and tried everything from biocide treatments to their so-called “Death Ray” to evict the mystery squatters.

Between ounces of prevention tips and hands-on disassembly, the team races to sanitize the system and answer the big question: will a pool-cooled PC ever be maintenance-free? Spoiler alert—there’s still some slimy surprises left.
