Any good solutions to keep the dust out? Anyone doing anything along
those lines - and how's it working?
I have a desktop that's less than a year old and is packed with dust
already. I can't make the environment dust free so that leaves
modifying the computer.
It, like most computers, is run with negative pressure, 90mm case fan
and ~50 mm PS fan exhaust air from the case. Holes in the side bring
air in - along with disk drive doors, and various unintended case
vents.
Easiest idea I've come up with is to remove one side panel and fit
something like a furnace filter in its place.
More difficult, but maybe more bullet proof, build an external box and
mount a blower in it and hang an automobile air cleaner or furnace
filter on the box and use it to pressurize the case with a length of
4" clothes dryer exhaust hose.
