I'm a draftsman at a company that makes solid wood products, and I'm having a problem with sawdust building up in my workstation case. As well as on my desk, on my chair, my keyboard, and in my dreams.

 

I'm wondering if there is a PC ventilation system on the market that is known for being superfluous. I'm reluctant to build something custom because I just don't have the time for trial and error.

 

Ideas?

You should look at industrial fans then. They are way more powerful, but mind that they are freaking loud. Maybe even noctua's industrial fans will help you.

Anyways, some wood particles will build up in corners or flat surfaces, so I'd give up, because wood is not a conductive material.

Can't really help with the desk and chair unless you drape a plastic room divider and set exhaust fans.

Try to set must fans as intake this will ideally force air to blow out of any un-filtered holes

Other than that the easiest option would be some filters over all the holes as such and just blow them off when needed(maybe an electric air blower instead of buying a bunch of cans. For the keyboard I would look into a plastic cover or a board with sealed or "spill proof" linings.

If you could set up a clean room like the garage paint booths some builders use you could cut out most of the dust. Just some pbc or aluminium poles and some plastic wraps or tarps and a couple box fans.

You could wrap the computer in something like pantyhose, would keep any dust out pretty well and wouldn't matter if it's positive or negative pressure

Buy fine mesh fabric. Use it to make like a hood over your case and some for your peripherals too. If PC doesn't need to powered all the time, you can use plastic wrap kinda thing too and filter for case fans. Aim for pure positive cooling also so you don't get any residual dust.

Well for custom pcs, the Silverstone mm01 is a dust/spill proof case with a HEPA filter in the front.
