Extremely dusty room

[Devilsven2]

Hey, I am building two PCs for my Dad’s classroom, and, I have run into a problem. He teaches woodshop and engineering.  As you can imagine, saw dust has been an issue in the past with computers.  He wants me to build an overkill pc so in the future he wouldn’t have the issue that he has now, which is that his PCs can’t hold up.  So, we picked out a list on pc part picker, including a 1080 ti, x299 mobo, and an i7 7820x cpu.  My ideas as far as cooling were to consider first water or air cooling, so I thought the Corsair h100i v2 would be hopefully easy to clean regularly, but the gpu cooling and main case cooling because the zotac 1080 ti amp Edition card we picked will be hard to clean.  Also, aside of the Corsair mammoth case, I couldn’t find a dust optimized case.  I was reading that positive airflow is a good thing in this area, so I was considering the Corsair crystal 460x bc I can put 3 fans in the front, ( install a filter too) and one exhaust in the rear.  What do you guys think is the best path forward?

Stick the PC in a separate room and run cables into the workshop, unless he needs to plug a bunch of stuff into his PC for some reason.

Buy a room air filter.

Even the best filtered cases still get dusty over time.

Also, it's not just your PC, you're also breathing all the crap in yourself.

I would just stick the whole pc in it's own box with a real air filter on it

Does the PC have to be in the same room? Like others have said either not have a PC there, or run cables from a seperate room. You'd ahve to be cleaning that thing monthly or even weekly to keep it clean.

If it really has to be in there, then I'd ask how warm does the room usually get? If it's not too toasty, I'd recommend a few parts with passive cooling or 0 rpm modes. Maybe a Palit 'Kalm X' card? Along with filters this might help reduce buildup inside the case, but really, it can't be done in the same room without compromising the system in some way

Thx for all the responses, I think we are going to route the cables through the wall to the room next door.  Again, thx to everybody!
