Got a video card off fleabay, but it's come from a heavy smoker. Sticky
with nicotine and stinks. I know if I put it in the PC the air flowing
through the case propelled by the fans will stink out the room.

How can I best clean it? Have mailed the seller to let him know I'm not
happy, he's offered a full refund including return postage, but the card
is a decent one and I'd like to keep it if it can be de-stinked.

Wash the entire thing with warm water and washing up liquid. All the fag
smoke artifacts are water soluble.

Rinse well, and dry in a warm place for a couple of days.
