I used to have refirb computer equipment (along w/ Chris Van Cleve, also 
on this list). Some things to try:

Rubbing Alchohol
Lighter fluid
Goop off (J.R. mentioned already)
Citris based cleaners
409 Cleaner (went thru GALLONS of that stuff)

With the exception of Alchohol - which evaporates quickly, the others 
you need to use a lot of patience with... let them sit for a while and 
work at it.

Another trick... if you have a lot of ballpoint pen marks on things - 
hairspray will dissolve it instantly. Just make sure to spray it down 
with something like 409 right away, or it will leave a dried laquer.

DON'T use acetone products like fingernail polish remover. It will 
dissolve most plastics.
