AI6YR BenTrying to deal with wildfire smoke? Here's the best thing since sliced bread for massively improving the air quality in your room/apartment/house/etc.
How to build your own Corsi-Rosenthal Box
btw, I converted mine to PC fans, and they are SO QUIET. My family hates the sound of fans, and they can't even tell the box I usually have on is running... keeps the AQI usually sub 10 (working harder to keep up this week though, so more like 15).
If you are not the DIY type, this kit has everything you need for a PC fan Corsi Rosenthal (from CleanAirKits), you have to also buy the filters.

Corsi Rosenthal Box | Clean Air Kits
Clean Air Kits are super efficient air purifiers built simply from banks of silent PC pressure fans and 3M Filtrete virus+allergen filters. Quiet enough to leave on always, powerful enough to protect from airborne pathogens like Flu, RSV, Strep, & Covid-19
sasutina13a is-a sasutina13a@ai6yr I've used similar to keep PC guts clean. I put flexible dryer duct between the filter box and the PC's inlet fan. Positive air pressure from the filter keeps the dust mice out of everything and prevents fouling the power supply and heatsinks, and overheating. Disabling the ion generator, if there is one, keeps it from zapping anything to death.
@sasutina13 I should do that, the dust bunnies are getting out of control in my PC, even with the Corsi running lol.
@ai6yr I had a PC in a clean work area and it still collected them. It's as if the PC was itself a filter.

While on this subject, I have seen PCs that were destroyed (processors cooked) by dust clogging up the heatsinks.

I've seen power supplies catch fire due to all the fluff and dirt clogging them, as well.

Laptops resting on duvets tend to fail in short order. Full of dust and debris and they overheat 😟
Elyse M Grasso@simonzerafa @sasutina13 @johntinker @ai6yr I have always used a lapdesk with my laptops (partly because I prefer mice to other pointing devices).
I had a very thin plastic lapdesk that I used when traveling.
Never had a computer choke on dust.
