Consider yourself lucky that the evidence is only on the outside of the 
cabinet.  I have seen much worse on the inside of cabinets.

Also consider a mask and gloves when handling the equipment for cleaning and 
while in the building.  Haute(sp?) virus is spread by mice.

  yeah, this was a nice Icom repeater, and let's just say they left   evidence 
of them being there, by releiving themselves on top of it.
  Now the repeater was still working, but i was horrified at what i saw

    Used to have mice problems with computer systems that were in harsh 
environments like warehouses and even one in a brick plant.

    We would spray WD-40 on the inside of the panels of the systems about every 
six months when we did the PM's on the systems, no more mice.  Not sure what 
was in the spray but the mice didn't like it.

      A commercial repeater that i do some work on, i went up to the sight 
      after over a year, and let's just say it was a horrible sight.
      The mice brought the repeater to its knees.
      Anyone have some advice on getting rid of the little bastards and 
      keeping them away?
      Anyone else delt with this problem?
      Mice are evil
      Thanks,
