I am certain we have all passed our fingers down a plane to verify if it requires a clean. That revealing line of dust that we detach tell us its time for a little spit and polish. Have you ever considered what dust actually is? In a normal office environment, where dust is usually kept to a minimum (unless it is your cleaner's day off), problems linked with dust are usually kept to a minimum. Though, in some environments huge amounts of dust can be caused by processes such as sawing, grinding, polishing and cutting.

However, have you ever thought what effect dust can have on computers and electrical appliances? Dust can jam filters and prevent air from flowing through the computer and causing it to overheat. dust also acts as an insulator which can add to the heat build up.

Dust can also cause a short in circuit boards and integrated circuits causing computers to crash and in some cases- even catch fire! Dust can also clog up some of the computers moving components such as the disk drives and even block USB ports and interfaces. There are thankfully a multitude of ways of eliminating and reducing dust. Protective covers can be used as a temporary but cheap method of refusing dust particles. Alternatively specialist dust-proof computers are manufactured but these are expensive and have to be replaced every time your IT is up-graded.

However, for a more lasting and flexible approach to protecting computer equipment from dust is to use a specialist computer enclosure. These enclosures can house your existing computers, protecting them from dust but with the added advantage of allowing you to replace or upgrade your IT whilst still keeping the same enclosures which can also protect your equipment from fire and impact.

Dust is responsible for millions of hours of IT downtime each year, do not let it happen to you, protect your computer equipment and you can both breath easily.
