Static Dust Collector?

Hi

Dust a bane of PC users, but a few questions come out in....

1. Is your locatity dusty to start with, dry humid area and this affects your home?
2. What location is your PC is it on the floor and is the floor carpet, tiles or wood etc?
3. Does your case have filters in front of the case fans?

Personally my case is off the floor and our weather is mainly damp most of year with a dryish humid summer for not more than a few months a year, the case has air filters in front of the fans to capture dust and thats easily vaccumed out periodically.

Fans external to the PC will only create more dust IMHO.


Kinda thought that in theory you could use a de-ionizer in a room with a home PC to de-static the air, it may help, not tested this out. There are Anti-Static Guns (Piezo Crystals), but they are not really that cheap and I wonder on their effectiveness.

Dont think you will ever stop dust in a PC, you can just lessen it, but as I know a few members here are very electrically charged mind wise I'm hoping they will jump in with personal opinions, over the ubiquitous googled ones as I may have questions as a follow up as well as you.

 

Yeah hence my asking about flooring?

De-ionising the room is likely as I originally thought is your likely best solution, but as you mentioned A computer then location of PC is a crucial point as it may add or detract the dust issue, I have been toying with PC cooling and room temp and dust for years, seem to have it at a min now, but you will never have zero dust unless you can afford to build a clean room!
