For the air cleaner- a room model might be good
because it would (hopefully) keep some dust out of your machines.
For cleaning, you can build a rudimentary "dust and fume hood" (although it
doesn't work for fumes) out of a box and a vacuum.
I've seen this used at small businesses to control dust. Just pop the computer in the
box, turn on the vacuum, and blow away.
For cleaning effectiveness, once you've used a tank compressor you'll never want
anything else.
There exist pneumatically (compressor) powered vacuum cleaners.
(Mine is 40+ years old, so details may not help)
Harborfreight.com carries several benchtop abrasive blasting cabinets.
One of those would be trivially easy to convert to a benchtop clean
cabinet. (start with a NEW one! and keep it very slightly pressurized with
filtered air)
drain the condensation from the compressor daily, and add drying filters,
but NOT oiler.
Watch out for static.
