Hi Rob or whoever can help,

I thought it would be an idea to put my computer in a bag to prevent dust or insects getting inside. I could make one out of sandfly netting or buy one like at http://www.dirtbag.biz/  and http://www.computerdust.com/ .

Do you think it would be all right to run the computer 24 hours a day inside such a bag so long as the bag is not tight up against the vents? The bags on the above links seem promising. However, they are from overseas companies. Do you know any that are available in Australia?

I heard that insects like cockroaches can cause problems in computers. I have had a gecko cook one of the boards once. As a result I leave my computer on all the time to hopefully prevent insects and geckoes getting in.

I could also make a net bag for the computer. If I do this do you think sandfly netting would be good?

Is there a way to see in the settings if the computer is overheating? A concern could be if the net bag did get blocked up with dust and I did not get a chance to clean it for a while. It would be good if there was a way to work out when it needed cleaning.

Your help is appreciated,
Regards Richard.
