Dust is not a big problem, only thing is the problem with users who
didn't take theirs in for a yearly cleaning. The hotter cpus has
fast spinning fans that heatsink gathers dust faster. Junky fans
they sieze up.

Cheap monitors is a problem both in electronics and tube they go bad
quickly not just roll over and die. Get one w/ both 3 and 3 years
warrenty. (electronics and tube)

I haven't seen a puked non-chargable lithium batteries yet even they
registers 0V.

Cheers,
