Filterless air purifiers
Our lab has a serious issue with dust. I've had a number of power supplies stop working because of dust clogging up the fans, and it's getting annoying. So I'm looking into some kind of small (under $500) air filtration system, and was wondering if anyone else out there has already gone down this road. If so, what did you buy and would you buy it again? I'd prefer something where I don't have to keep buying filters, but that may just be a pipe dream.
thanks in advance.

de-ionizer that is (aka ionic breeze)
don't all attack the link at once, you might kill my 6500

(i put it in GD 'cause in this case it's tech related. need to protect my computer hardware)
thanks for the pdf.

sweet, it made the front page of slashdot.
too bad i already bought one.
However, there are some debateable studies which show physcological bennefits to running an ion generator. Also, ion-generator equiped units can generally be run at a slower fan speed, creating less noise.
A combination of the two has proved quite effective for people with extreme allergies. When properly designed, an ion-generator can make HEPA filters more efficient.
Also, it is important to note that filters actually remove particulates from the environtment rather than just causing them to drop out of the air onto the floor and even vertical surfaces.
