With a box fan, the cardboard box it comes in is already a perfect size to use one face as the floor of a #CorsiRosenthalBox and the other face as the fan shroud. For the PC fan version, you can use the manufacturer's cardboard box that the Costco 4-pack of Filtrete filters ships in the same way - one face gets cut to size for the floor, and the other face gets cut to the same size for the top but with holes added where you mount the PC fans. You could maybe double the top for more rigidity.

@Texan_Reverend@kind.social You can also get actual appliances now. We have one of these (haven't gotten around to assembling it yet, though): https://cybernightmarket.com/products/the-nukit-tempest-air-purifier-kit It's a metal PC-case-like box that holds filters and fans. (I briefly pondered getting Gamer PC LEDs and RGB fans for it, but $SPOUSE nixed that. And also, I don't know enough about it to keep the cost/airflow ratio low enough.)

@Texan_Reverend@kind.social I've been enjoying @jcorbin@hachyderm.io's development of the PC HEPA, inspired by the exhalaron but looking like something you might want to see every day and portable to boot! https://github.com/jcorbin/pchepa/

@Texan_Reverend@kind.social I've been using the box fan with a variac I have. The variac is great at dialing the speed of the box fan down to very quiet levels. I also have particulate sensors, so I know when to dial things up. The last few years with the wildfires in California have made me a smoke mitigation expert! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZ3NTMJQ/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?pd_rd_i=B0CZ3NTMJQ
