I have a lab with PC 's with Fedora installed on them.
There is so much dust in this Lab. Tried cleaning (blowing) the PC's each second week.

Is there a way I can protect this computers from dust?

Thanks

You could create a separate room just for the computers by adding transparent wall or you could keep blowing the dust but each week instead of each second week

Hi.

I know people who use air purifiers. I Googled for dust filter air and this was one of the top hits. It may be cheaper than building a new room:
Air Purifiers & Air Purifier Filters: Top 10 Air Purifiers & Customer Reviews
other attacks might be to try to find where the dust is coming from and try to deal with that. For example, if the dust comes in from the door, then perhaps a plastic curtain around the doorway, etc.

Googling for dust in pc lab brought up this older thread from slashdot, with 600 comments:
An Affordable Air Purifier For Dusty Computer Labs? - Slashdot
and this mentioning curtains (non-speciifc):

Using searches can often present solutions that otherwise might not be considered.

Good luck ... cheers, drl
