How can I prevent my computer from being a dust-trap?

Question

My computer desk is full of dust. My desk is in a corner (not kiddy corner) my computer is set long-ways, so I can see its side windows. There are 2 case fans going beneath the side-window, and they attract alot of dust around them.

Answer 1

You couldn't avoid much in the dusty environment, especially one who lives in the city main street area or near industrial park.

I found a dramatic reduce solution without insert any filter into the PC case which may cut the cooling efficient airflow within. That's is, add an Ionic air cleaner by the fan area where air draw into your PC.
Every once in awhile, you just pull out the metal strip wipe off those dusts.

You could buy one at eBay, cost somewhere 15.00 to 50.00. depends the model. Be aware, PC itself creates negative charges, therefore you don't need fancy ozone devices, those air cleaners only kill odor but not efficient dusts magnet. You need the one came with metal strip that create negative charges attract as much of the dusts before pull into your PC as well as quiet.

My work PCs had seen significant reduced to hardly see any since the day I started it 3 years ago and it was almost clogged the fans in few months.

I attach a link so you have a rough idea what you're looking for.

p/s: another solution if you don't want to spend a dime for it is to vacuum the dust area by placing your vacc hose in front of the problem areas. Make sure your PC is unplug 1st so there will be no static or accident that may ruin your day.

Answer 2

Dust is a problem for all of us.
The only true solution is to give the entire room a total wipe & try to keep it that way.

* DO NOT interfere with the proper air circulation of the PC in any way whatsoever.

Answer 3

Projectors use a thin foam over their fans to keep them from collecting too much dust. Maybe you would like to look a solution like that.

Answer 4

certainly, a mesh case would not artwork very properly. circumstances are designed with airflow in ideas, a minimal of the best ones, and a delicate airflow is what gets rid of the warmth style the assorted warmth sinks used for cpu, ram, northbridge and southbridge controllers, etc. in case you merely had an open case, there may be no directed airflow around the heatsinks, and it would certainly run lots warmer. it would look neat, however!
