It's an Ionic Breeze, but for the processor!

I haven't used an ionic breeze before, but IIRC don't you have to clean them from time to time?  I wonder how that would work in the computer.

I guess it would be easily removable?  Not so easy that it would fall out, but easy enough someone could do it on-the-go.

That would be a big pain in the ass though for large scale applications... think about a server room full of server racks or a large public lab with lots of desktop computers locked shut (to prevent vandalism/theft)

I doubt it forces dust to stick to it -.- and even if it did, probably doesn't require cleaning

It does. I have one. It makes rags pure black.

An Ionic Breeze is made to collect dust, which I doubt this thing does. Unless, of course, it's a byproduct of the technology.

Not an ionic breeze. The thing they used to cool the processor!

I was leaning more towards just laptops.  I don't know what they would do for large labs and server rooms.
