SS or Tube Amp for Sawdust Environment?

I've got a combo painting studio/wood shop in the back and, while the sawdust output doesn't approach that of a typical furniture shop, I'm somewhat concerned about the negative effects such dusts and water based paint sprays lingering in the air might have upon electronics such as amps/computers, etc. Would sort of like to take this opportunity to put together a small sound system for the shop to try out one of the smaller/inexpensive tube or hybrid integrateds. Has anyone been in this situation or have any advice to lend here? Thanks.

Get yourself a Bosch Airsweep, which is tool-activated, self-cleaning and will help your system and your health if you can integrate it well into your shop workflow.

Won't something like a Bel Canto be OK/work?

Is the shop also really noisy too? I can't see why anything more than a boom box would really matter?

Thanks all. I think I'll stick with solid state after your suggestions...ideally a middle of the line '70s receiver and a plastic cover for those times when generating a lot of dust. The power tools don't get used but about 20% of the time. Nice non-critical-listening space...
