This might not be the apprpriate newsgoup to post this, but I don't know
whereelse I can post this.
Anyway, since we all know our Optical Disk has Dust problem... actually
it's not only the OPtical disk, but also, inside the computer, and all
other hi-tech instruments. As I discovered last time during the upgrade,
I realized that my Cube sucked in TOO much dusts that some chips on the
hard disk analog board were completely "covered" by dust!!!
So I was wondering/concerning, and is considering getting somekind of
air filter for the room. I've seen several Ionizers which are supposed to
be effective removing dust in the air. Since it release ions to the air,
I was wondering if it does any harm t my NeXT?
Any suggestion is welcome.
Thanks

I cut a small piece of filter (SS11) from a large Bionaire unit, and held it over the fan on the inside of the cube with an elastic. No doubt it diffuses the airflow a bit. I will have to take my cubes temperature with a fever thermometer. Anyone know the temperature which would indicate trouble? ... Richard <Tilley@ccu.umanitoba.ca>
