Default dust free computer solution

Anyone got one?

The best I found was a positive pressure case enclosure but its kind of bulky. Perhaps a good water cooled solution or if anyone knows a great case. I'm open to ideas.

True, but that is a hassle. If I could get high speed fans with filters I could potentially create a higher pressure on the interior thus forcing air out of all the cracks. I think this would stop any dust from getting in anywhere.

you'll still have to draw in air somewhere, just use scotchbrite pads as filters infront of your fans and call it done.

i think it would just collect at the fans, and then blow dust out into the room.

Thats what I said, I'd filter the incoming air and if its fast enough the pressure differential will be positive and it won't pull air into the case.

They do have these filter bags. Looks ugly, but it works.
