5fdp, I would not fault you at all for being extreme with protecting your TF's from dust. Having allergies I know all too well how much dust can effect you, its sometimes just as bad as having a cold with all the coughing and blocked noses.

I've been thinking about a display cabinet. But that would then mean taking up more space =( Where would be a good starting point to look at different glass cabinets? I'd imagine I won't need that big of a cabinet given my small collection.

I'm definately gonna consider the carpet removal option, now if only I could convince my folks....
