If you get a little brave, design a smaller case that is more appropriate. Wood is good! Put a good fan or two in it with filters, and keep a 'positive pressure' in the case. This will keep much of the dust/dirt/chips out.
<Story warning> In the OLD days before the IBM PC was a dream in Boca Raton FL, a guy George Morrow was selling computers. He had such a problem keeping folks in his company from shipping the computer he was using for his desk top, he took a mother board out of the case and used screws to mount it to the side of his wood desk. Now he was able to keep a computer for him to use. </Story warning> ... You could use the same technique, nothing says a computer MUST be in a UL certified metal box! ... Make it just the right size for you, and screw it to the wall, so you have more table space! ...
