Where did you find Swamp Thing?
I assume you got it to work.
Got it from a friend who's a systems consultant back east.
The following is from her web site...

When I got ST, it had already been cleaned, set up, and run for 20+
hours to test it.
I'm stunned: the motherboard still had a huge amount of mud in it,
and the power supply was *completely* packed solid with mud still.
For the PS I took the case off, grabbed it by the dangling cables and
dunked it repeatedly into a bucket of soapy water, then the tight
spots were brushed out.
Then it was rinsed repeatedly in clean water, once with DI water, and
hung up in the sun to dry.
When I put it all back together, the thing fired right up.
I must say, I held my breath when I did so, but no sparks or cloud of
smoke ensued.
Smelled a bit funky, but that's dissipated, and now it's running
quite solidly with a new 1Gig processor.
