Or use air filters.

I installed a 120mm fan into my Antec Lanboy, and while I was at it,
installed one of those cheap foam filter fan covers, come in 2 packs for
~3$, washable. It's outside. I have several cats. (or is that
backwards...) The Super Lanboy has 2 low rpm 120mm fans... My next case.

Made an amazing difference, actually stays clean inside now. No hair,
very little dust. Thinking about oiling the filters K&N style.
