  I just had a somewhat interesting idea to solve the "dust" problem.

I have a room in my appartment which I pretty much never enter. It's
pretty much dust free. (Dust is caused by me).

If I would place my PC there then it would probably collect almost no
dust at all.

The only problem is I would not long cables to my monitor and keyboard
and mouse.

Also holes would be needed somewhere to route the cables.

Another possibility would be wireless... but I don't like that so
much. Energy going through my body no thanks.

Drawbacks would be less control on what my PC is doing.

Also I would still need to enter and exit to turn on the PC... but
this could be done via a keyboard key... though I think this might
require some power.

My first idea was actually a little robot which scrapes of the dust
from the filters ;)

Another idea could be to simply get rid of the filters but this is a
bit risky... dust could build up quickly.

I kinda like the idea of trying to move my PC elsewhere... this would
also get rid of any additonal noise.

Though I also like the idea of listening to my harddisks to know what
the hell it's doing. So that info would no longer be available which
is a bit scary for me. Actually that's a pretty scary idea.. not being
able to hear my harddisks... for obvious reasons of virus/format
attack or stealings ! ;) :)

Another idea could be to leave the screws out 24 for of them... but
that is also a bit scary... definetly not gonna do that...
my hd-information is the most important thing so...

My best solution so far is really simple:

Build a very simple low heat pc in the future which requires very
little airflow ;) and still has decent performance for websurfing,
video viewing and a little bit of gaming.

Bye,
  Skybuck.

Great idea. Put your PC in there, close the door and never enter the
room again. All will be well. Particularly if that's the system you use
to post on this newsgroup.
