An Affordable Air Purifier For Dusty Computer Labs?

Alcimedes writes "Our lab has a serious issue with dust. I've had a number of power supplies stop working because of dust clogging up the fans, and it's getting annoying. So I'm looking into some kind of small (under $500) air filtration system, and was wondering if anyone else out there has already gone down this road. If so, what did you buy and would you buy it again? I'd prefer something where I don't have to keep buying filters, but that may just be a pipe dream." Anyone with cats knows the feeling. Can you suggest a reasonably priced answer to dust-borne failure?

    Dude, if that's true, there must be hundreds of dead people in my attic. My house is massively dusty.

    IIRC, Consumer Reports gave the Sharper Image Ionic Breeze a hefty thumbs-down

    Then it's a reason to buy one. Consumer Reports is bunch of shit. Anyone who takes there info seriously is indeed an idiot.

    Ionic Breezes work really damn well. Kind of expensive, but ever since we've gotten two of them (one for the main floor one for the basement) my (and my fiancees) alergy problems have dissappeared.

    He is in very good health, much more so than me. I think it's the Polack in him.

    Because that would make my PC look like a white trash nigger rig. That sounds worse than the crap Heloise gets.

    There are few things in life as pleasurable as screwing your wife while she has an asthma attack. Watching he quiver and gasp for air while I shoot a load into that gasping mouth is a orasm that you wouldn't believe! Sometimes she sucks my spooge right into her lungs.

    Do you ever take her inhaler from her and make her suck your dick to get it back? I do, all the time.
