Make your own Cleanbox Cheap!
http://www.thenook.org/archives/3487.html
This is a cheap way to make a clean room, or rather glovebox for working on drives. Works well and will get the small jobs done. When it is something important I usually use a clean room but you can
use a glovebox. I added a link to the place I found the better instructions about creating one. Most common tech procedures apply here, but of course we are trying to do it cheap. In addition, when the platters spin, the air bearing created will usually spin off small debris. The drive was actually designed this way. However if you touch it, game over.
People still ask me a lot about what clean room I own. This is what I own below. This thing is larger than it looks. I had to have a cabinet maker disassemble it and reassemble it in my lab space. It weighs about 600 pounds, and it took 4 hefty movers (people) to get it in the lab, to lift it up on the table legs and to bolt it to the support and it was only about 1/2 inch from the ceiling when installed.
