How do I keep my dedicated room & gear cleaner?

I HAVE A DEDICATED LISTENING ROOM WITH MBL 101E MK2 RADIALSTRAHLERS, B.A.T. VK600SE MONOBLOCKS, B.A.T. VK51SE PREAMP, LINN SONDEK LP12 T.T., AND A MAGNUM DYNALAB MD102 FM TUNER. I LIVE OUT IN THE COUNTRY WHERE THERE IS LOTS OF AGRICULTURE, AND IT'S DUSTY ALL THE TIME. WHILE I ENJOY OPENING UP WINDOWS AND SCREEN DOORS WHEN THE WEATHER IS NICE TO LET IN FRESH AIR, MY GEAR GETS REALLY DUSTY-FAST. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO COVER EVERYTHING UP ALL THE TIME AS I LEAVE MY SYSTEM ON FOR LONG HOURS, BOTH DAY AND NIGHT.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ABOUT USING SOME AIR FILTRATION STUFF? DOES TOO MUCH DUST BUILD-UP CAUSE ANY LONG TERM PROBLEMS WITH AUDIO GEAR AND/OR SPEAKERS?

We also have farm land around us . We rarely open windows , if we need fresh air we go outside . For inside our furnace / airconditioner has an electronic filter that works very well .

Hello Martin ... You must be kidding , $1800 to $2000 per month , Wow , thats about what are utility bills are for a year , and the folks here think were getting hosed . Of coarse in Canada are furnace gets about 7 months use and AC unit is used for about 4 months .
As I mentioned above our furnace/AC unit is equipped with an electronic filter , its far superior to the particle filters that come with those units . The cost was about $900 installed and works whenever the furnace or AC is on . If your close to it you would think there was a bug zapper in the intake duct .
After hearing about the temps you endure it makes 3 feet of snow sound like a tip toe through the tulips . All the best . Tim
