I use static-free bags on top of the systems. It seems to propel dust away from them.

The sticker maybe would've worked but painting flames would make them run too fast. The same holds true for cars. :lol:

I was recently given a dirty PS2 and it took flippin ages to clean it. Just when I though it was done I'd find some more nooks hiding more filth.

I just let my systems sit there and collect a bit of dust. I dust them every week or two so I really don't see the big deal.

My house isn't a museum. I have my consoles set up to enjoy and play, I'm not gonna turn into some crazy Italian family and wrap all my possessions in plastic so they don't get dusty.

My house is super dusty. It's bad for my lungs let alone my consoles. But to be honest, I'm not afraid of a bit of dust. I just dust around my room every weekend with a regular dusting cloth, it's super-fun, like colouring in but backwards.

My Dad got my a California mini duster for my car years ago, and it works great on consoles and shelves (of games, books, movies, or whatever). I'd highly recommend it if you are looking for good duster.
