Idea: Personal Dust Sucker
Hello,
I suspect my presence near the Personal Computer is probably causing a lot of dust to be sucked into the PC over time. So in a way the PC also acts as a Personal Dust Sucker. Except I don't want it to suck in dust. So here is my idea for a solution: a Personal Dust Sucker. I would buy such a device, and place it next to me on the desk or so, and then it starts sucking dust particles which my body is shedding faster than my PC would, in the hope that my PC would stay much more clean. Added benefit could be: Less house cleaning to do. I think such a device is worth of an experiment, you build it, I buy it and test it out Bye, Skybuck =D |

Maybe I would buy even multiple and spread them around in my house, so they
can suck in dust 24/7 so that the dust never hits the floor and it hopefully won't get sucked into my pc too much ! Ofcourse it has to be a little bit low noise, not as loud as a vacuum cleaner, but still effective enough to suck in dust ! =D Perhaps it should use the same bags as regular vacuum cleaners so those bags can be dumped into waste basket when full... but I would also be cool with plastic bags which can be wrapped around some kind of plastic container, turn it up side down, wait until all the dust settles in the plastic bag and then close plastic bag and throw it away, though I suspect that might be a bit more messy, or simply a container which I take outside and fokking dump the dust onto the street :P ! =D Bye, Skybuck. |

Also I just realized why there is always so much dust at the back of my
table near the wall... I think it's the PC causing it ! It sucks in dust from the front and blows it out in the back. Then the dust falls down at the back and accumalates. Kinda stupid that it's not collected but that's where the dust suckers come in ! =D Perhaps these devices can even be combined into one so that the PC functions as a Personal Dust Sucker as well. Though I suspect all the air pushing through backs would get hot. Maybe it needs a different tactic to collect the dust from the air Bye, Skybuck. |

Ok,
I just had a very cool idea which might work: The dust sucker is placed right before the inlet fans of the PC, as to suck away the dust. So somehow the air which goes into the PC should first be cleaned/clensed by something else, which could be the dust sucker. Perhaps a whole system of cleaning air, cooling the air and then it goes into the PC. That way the PC keeps functioning at optimum condition, no cleaning necessary, no risks of damage for a while and the fans inside can even spin harder without having to worry about dust build up, and the fans will probably keep working longer too, without oil getting all filthy ! (Though some fans are closed nowadays and have some oil reservoirs which is a good thing for long life). Bye, Skybuck. |

Ok,
I am gonna expand a little bit on this idea: There would be a filter, multiple filters perhaps even. There would be a little mechinal arm which scraps away the dust from filters and collects it. There would be some small pipes running next to the case, lot's of lonnnnggggg pipes, all around the pipes would be tiny little heatsinks, which would transport any heat from the air onto the outside or so. Then hopefully the air gets cooled, maybe even freezing cool. Then because the pipes are so tiny... it produces lot's of air speed which can be directly directed at the cpu chip and gpu chip. Perhaps the air can be split up into multiple pipes leading to these different chips. Perhaps the pipes be a little bit flexible, or perhaps they should be in a steady position, so motherboard designer have to place their chips there... but that might take away some freedom... so perhaps moveable pipes somehow would be best... Perhaps some kind of pipe heatsinks... the pipes leads directly to the heatsinks and can be attached so they don't go off and bungle around. This way the hottest chips get optimal cooling... any remaining airflow comes out in the main chasis area or so... or perhaps tiny little pipes across the motherboard... asus seems to have a design for that. All air should go directly over these components as much as possible... I think that would be best... Just shoving in air and out without actually going over the components probably don't work well in current systems... so this new system would be nice. Perhaps it should be standardize so extension cards can only be of a certain size as to prevent fitting issues, or perhaps the motherboard cover would be expandable so user can expand it himself, perhaps with different settings which can hold place by themselfes, perhaps little screw or clip to keep it in place. Refridgerators have cooling mechanics, so perhaps same technology can be applied to cool the air somewhat... perhaps smaller versions of this technology, perhaps even something new Bye, Skybuck |

Now that I think about it some more this design has simalarities with "water
cooling systems" except without the damn water. I don't like water cooling systems because of the water. So try and use a water cooling system but then replace the water with some kind of cleaned and cooled air... That would be cool. Bye, Skybuck. |

The Antec 1200 has dust filters in the front. How in the hell could it suck dust thru the case if you are using them and cleaning then regularly? Then the dust falls down at the back and accumalates.

As for dust getting into your PC, buy filter fabric (it about 1/8 inch thick, comes in rolls, you can probably get it at a hardware store. Cut pieces of it and tape the over the vents and fan holes on you PC, soome of the guy I work with do this with there pc) Shaun |

Though, a drivel filter would probably work just as well. |

I see that you mind goes and goes, hence multiple posts. There are medications for that, they're called antipsychotics. I'm not insulting you when I make this suggestion. Talk to a doctor about what all goes on in your mind, hopefully he'll refer you to a psychiatrist and they can prescribe medication. Again, I'm not insulting you, I'm giving you advise, I'm familiar with this type of thing. |
