    A secondary consideration is debris drawn into the case from the
outside by cooling fans.  For instance, I have indoor cats, so there
is cat hair all over everything, and the longer my system is on over
the long term, the more likely it is that hair and dust wil be drawn
inside.  Because I usually use my computer only a couple of hours a
day, I turn it off in between.
