[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1256751"] No. This is unnecessary for a Mac. If you live in a REALLY dusty environment, get an air purifier or ioniser and put it on the OPPOSITE side of the room from the Mac (as far away as possible). Yes, but not necessary. Just put it to sleep. Sleep mode uses very VERY marginally more power than shutdown (yes, computers still use trickle power even when turned off). Read my essay (link below) and congrats on the new machine! [/QUOTE]
