In 2002, I ran a small company that installed computers for THIS lot: http://www.farmingtonnaturalstone.co.uk ie. A QUARRY. Doesn't get more dusty than that. My answer wasn't fancy cases or rack-mounting. My answer was bog standard cases with 5 quids' worth of kitchen cooker hood filter! Cut to size and velcro over the *inside* of the air intake grilles. We used Velcro to make it easy to replace the filters; we replaced them every 3 months, but then it was a limestone quarry, so in a loft you could probably get away with once per year. You can get cooker hood filters from Currys or Comet. Five quid will buy you about one and a half square metres of the stuff. A typical PC will only require about fifty square centimetres. -- Andrew Oakley -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
