1 - Not give a shit. Seriously I have cats that sleep on top of my case and it doesn't seem to do anything
2 - Get filters and use air coolling. This means you
2a - Underclock your system
2b - Have heating issues
2c - Go overboard on fans
3 - Use water cooling and a case like the Silverstone TJ-07, you position your water cooling racks in the lower half of the case, and use through and through air to cool them. No filters needed down there because even if cat hairs happen there's no sensitive electronics for it to happen too.
I did this myself for a while but I stopped water cooling because it was too much maintenance in the long run for me to remain happy. I had better things to do than keep it running.
I'm not sure about alot of other brands, but I know Lian Li cases have filters which snap onto the front of the intake fans, and their case fascias pop on and off easily so you don't have to dismantle anything to clean a filter. The fact that the cases are aluminium also come in handy for rust issues because I live so close to the sea.
but no seriously (don't do that) - invest in filters, etc. An air filter in your room will help A LOT as well. I have a rabbit with hair finer then any cat, and while my computer gets a little dusty - the air filter in the room gets a vast amount of it out of the air before it can float over to my PC, even during shed seasons. I also have all of my fans in my PC pointed outwards as exhaust - this may not be optimal for air flow but I don't have heat issues and have a standard clocked processor with large components like a big video card and a lot of ram and hard drives, seems fine.
Also, I use an air compressor about once every 6 to 8 weeks to dust out my computer, its mostly normal dust though, not hair. This helps a lot
Beeing about to change my whole rig I had made a selection of some Cases , perhaps you can give me a hand selecting the best and better suited for me? OR suggest new one?
