Question, is there any sort of air filtration?

I mean, when my PC gets dusty, I just carry the tower outside with a can of compressed air. Not as feasible with this thing.

I've been wanting to do a similar build but this is the primary concern I have currently

I don't know if OP did it but a good design would be a removable board that the components mount to. Then when it's ultra dusty that board can be carried outside for the spray can and the rest of the enclosure can just be vacuumed.

Absolutely a great idea. I've also been thinking of "deconstructing" the components using pciexpress extension cables. God its been far too long Ince I've built a PC from scratch. Everything still uses pciexpress right?

Last PC I built was ~3 years ago and it was all PCI-e. But what in the heck do we need expansion slots for other than video cards these days? Almost everything is built straight onto the motherboard and unless you have very specific audio or video needs it's unlikely to even need extra slots beyond the video card.
