Is there any way to prevent dust buildup inside cases?

[Sammael]

Not just diminish it, or periodically clean it out so it never builds up to something larger, I am talking about radically reducing the acquisition of dust in the first place?

 

 

Is there some air filter that can be put in a room to clean out all the debris?  Do you have to vacuum the floor or sweep up dust every other day or so just to keep dead skin particles from going airborne and finding their way inside the case?  Do we need to scrub our skin with steel wool to minimize said dead skin?

 

 

It's just so effing disgusting, and there is so much filth in the air.

Air pressure.

[TechSage]

Positive air pressure and dust filters on all of the intakes

 

EDIT: Positive pressure meaning, more air is coming in rather than leaving.So 2 intakes with one exhaust or 4 intakes with 2 exhaust etc

[Volbet]

A dehumidifier if you want something to clean the air in your room. But as the others have said, you can work wonders with dust filters

[Excon]

All dust, no. Most of it, yes. As others have said positive pressure and filtered intakes are the best option.

[EvilLemur]

you could try some sort of hepa air purifier and put filters on all your ac vents and keep the room in positive pressure all the time.  ( same idea as a clean room )

Dust Filters

[Jaybird]

dust filters, placing your rig on your desk instead of the floor. keep your place clean. 

[LancerBG]

dust gets in everything. nothing you do will keep it out 100 percent but I did find out by coincidence that having an efficient air purifier in the same room as a pc will reduce it a lot. 

[Almercenary]

Positive air pressure and dust filters, but its nearly impossible as when your PC is off, it just falls in.  Try doing a clean out every know and then

[LogicalDrm]

Unless you build clean room there will always be some dust. Electronics gather it. Thats fact. You could place PC inside some light ventilated fabric with rubberized holes for cables. That way the fabric would gather all the dust.

Dustfilters and positive airpressure.

[Bikkabo]

Lots upon lots of dust filters, and a well thought out fan configuration, maybe even components with the thingie when the fans turn in the different directions to prevent dust build up, but that's probably overkill.

Try to maintain a positive air pressure in the case and have filtered intakes.http://www.silverstonetek.com/techtalk_cont.php?tid=wh_positive&area=usa

  70%, 80% up to 99% of dust comes from dead skin.depending on the household enviroment  Anyway ...I use a Philips Clean Air system and sucks up most fluff around and it works a treat. My acrylic case after 7 years had such a fine haze of dust on the inside floor, I only noticed it after polishing it in my recent refit. AND I dont have any filters on the fans. (to be honest, I never knew cases had them. :blush:  )
