Default Dust/splashproof laptop covers - suggestions?

We have a user who will need to use their laptop (regular Toshiba
Satellite) in a Quarry, so basically dust will be an issue.

Does anyone know who/where they sell any sort of enclosure that will help
prevent problems without turning the laptop into an unweildly desktop?

I'm thinking similar to the keyboard covers that you can get, but I'dexpect
such a thing would need to be moulded for the specific model of laptop so
that the exhaust fan can still expel hot air etc..

TIA,
Paul

To expel hot air it must have an air-intake - that`ll be prone to sucking
up crap and clogging up the guts of the machine too i`d expect

could probably put some thin cloth over all the 'in' bits on it to prevent
dust getting in
