Taiwan's YoungYear Electronics claims to stop the horror with its Green Mesh case, which has neither fans (http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/30/noctua-noise-cancelling-pc-fan/) to suck dust, nor filters, and keeps your components cool with a "chimney effect" instead. It's this same action that repels dust (http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/07/du-static-dust-busting-concept-clears-the-air-wont-vanquish-vo/) out the top, so that only one quarter the usual amount of filth is drawn in -- according to the company. The only downside is that with poor heat dissipation, the maximum power supply unit size is 300 watts -- which probably scratches it off the list for most modders or power-users. For the rest, if you don't mind your computer's innards blowing in the breeze, at least you'd have no nasty case-opening frights.
