I heard about butterfly enclosure from internet. Is that the only way? I am really really hate cockroaches. And that's being the reason why I want to go for a mini PC instead of a desktop PC. Although I need the power of desktop PC.
I am not joking/trollng. I am serious. I hope to not get misunderstood.

Might want to pass on a link to what you're looking at.

If you have cockroaches, no matter what case you go for, they'll make their way into said case. What you need to do is treat your room and rid it off of cockroaches, first.

IMHO.

Do you have roaches in your house or apartment?
Probably not.

But to allay your fears, simply enclose the whole thing in a sealed screen mesh. Like the screen you use for windows.
 
Yeah almost impossible as baby's will go in through the smallest of openings (even netting) and get fat with organic dust debris and lay eggs, etc. Just get a big old case, put a roach motel inside and change out every couple weeks.
