Watch out for hair in the keyboard, though :-)  I haven't had too much of
a problem with this as I use gentle pressure air to clear it out of mine.
You see, my female cat likes to lay down and be petted while I work so,
naturally, she lands on the keyboard (when she isn't playing soccer with
the mouse) and the resulting fur makes the keyboard very soft to the
touch.

Seriously, the last time I had the system open I was suprised at the lack
of hair in the machine.  The filtering and ventilating systems seem to do
their jobs well.
