As a believer in the Unix philosophy, I'd rather keep my tools discrete. There's a reason we stopped integrating the keyboard directly into the computers. I don't see the point in having to throw out two unrepairable devices when one of them inevitably breaks.
- On the flip side, if you are going to be running a fan to cool something anyway, you might as well pop a filter in there and pull double duty.
  
  I'll grant you that, but I've literally never seen an actively cooled monitor in my life. When did that happen?
  
  Your monitor has a fan?
- I also prefer to stew in my own smells.
  
  Well, I mean... You could always try showering. It's not really the kind of problem an ionizing air purifier was meant to solve.

This is actually a somewhat compelling feature, more so considering how often I have to clean my monitors from dust.

That's a nice way to say your solid state active cooling gets clogged up with dust :P
