MP 6,1 Mac Pro 6,1 in a very dusty environment. Air filter how to?

[adam9c1]

Looking for ideas how to filter incoming air going into the Mac Pro 6,1.
This computer will be in a very dirty environment.

Yes, I can remove the cover and blow air through the heat sinks, but would rather have a solution where the air going into the computer is filtered with a removable / washable or replacable filter such as a small furnace type filter. This way I'm protecting the equipment better.

There used to be a product called CoreFilter. It was kind of like a round stand w/ filter in which Mac Pro sat within. I imagine its going to be virtually impossible to find something like that now for the discontinued Mac Pro.

You need an industrial computer enclosure for factory environments. Something like this:

Mini PC, Micro PC – DS SFF - DustShield® Computer Enclosures

The DS SFF is our smallest tower enclosure and is the perfect fit for compact PCs, providing maximum protection while taking up minimal space.

That, or you need to make one yourself, that has positive air pressure flow to keep dust from infiltrating, and gaskets / filters etc, with adequate airflow to ensure cooling.

could mount it in a 2013 Mac Pro server case . 6.1 equals 2013 Mac Pro right? 7.1 is 2019 model.
