Air Cleaner/Purifier?

Hi so I'm not sure if this is an okay place for this, but I figured I'd give it a shot.

I hate dust, and like most things I hate there is wayy too much of it. It seems like just a couple days after I dust and clean off my equipment there's a nice new layer of it covering everything again. This wouldn't be too huge of an issue if I didn't have dozens of electronics and various hardware all over my room.
From computers and monitors, to microphones, mixers, and guitars, there's just too much stuff accumulating dust. It gets in keys, knobs, buttons, faders, vents, and anything else, totally screwing up the contacts on everything. I can't do a clean volume fade on my mixer because the sliders are dirty, so all I get is static.

I've got one of the Ionic Breeze Quadra air purifiers, and it does a great job of making the room smell pleasant and gathering a small amount of crap that I'm happy to not be inhaling, but it's just not enough. Maybe if I had 5 of them running non-stop around the room it would help, but that would be incredibly expensive, and it would be ridiculously difficult to constantly be cleaning them all.

So I'm looking for something with some balls to it. Maximum dust collection, which I guess would involve lots of moving air. It would be pretty awesome to be able to just blow stuff off with compressed air and have most of it collected in the cleaner. At this point it either re-settles or gets sucked into my computer.
I don't really have much space for something huge, my room is about 12'×18' and packed with stuff, and I can't really spend a whole lot on something super fancy and overpriced.

Any suggestions?
 
How much are you willing to spend? A good HEPA unit isn't cheap. Hunter makes some decent ones, but it'll cost you a $200 or more for something to really effective.
 
Well a few hundred dollars is quite steep but I suppose it's worth it if works insanely well. If I was going over $200 though I'd want to feel like I'm almost just a white suit away from a clean room.
 
Better to just put the money towards your own place. The folks will never smell you smoking weed from over there. :D
 
Oh god no, I don't smoke. I'd never let smoke anywhere near my equipment. Interesting suggestion though...
 
Aren't those Blue Air units supposed to be the cat's ass? They use those in the smoke shacks at work some places, and it keeps the hallways from stinking.

To maintain warranty though, you have to replace the filter every 6 months. They are not cheap either, but Costco carries them.

Some of those ionic models are junk (and can be detrimental to your health). Look into a right-sized HEPA mechanical filtration unit.
