Default How do I keep dust out of my room?

I've noticed that people on the internets comment on how dusty my cases are, including the Corsair Obsidian

My desk is layered in dust within hours

I live in CA BTW. A rural part. Any hope for me ?

Just make dust filters out of panty hose or something. Also, let's see some pics of your dusty case.

clean out your room, wash the walls or paint. seal drafty windows. get a new mattress new sheets, or vaccuum them really well too. Then vaccuum everything else and always keep the door closed as much as possible. reduce the positive pressure of the entire house by pointing fans outside that may be in the windows or keep the ac filters clean. vaccuum vaccuum vaccuum.

Buy an air-purifier and stick it in your room.

Get a small vacuum and get a few cans of dust off. Spray the dust off and at the same time suck in all the dust that pops up. That's what I do with my PC. I love little Korean vacuums.

You cant keep dust out of any room cause dust is actually partially human skin.

Or make dust filters using foam that comes with your motherboard.

Majority of the dust comes from YOU, yes YOU the human being. It's estimated we lose 50,000 skin cells each minute so unless you kill yourself, and everyone around you, there will be no end to dust.

Just get a competent air purifier, none of that Ionic Breeze crap, get a real one that are used in hospitals and caregiver homes. Something what will create a small vacuum in your room so the air purifier exhausts everything out your window, but quiet at the same time.

Any type of fabric will shed dust when disturbed (i.e. your clothes, bed, sofa, carpet, etc.)
