Another option is to add a new ou into the tree - I can't remember 
where I read this idea:

  dc=example,dc=com
   |
   + ou=Accounts
      |
      + ou=People
      |
      + ou=Computers

That way you can limit the search to ou=Account,dc=example,dc=com, and 
still separate Computer accounts from People accounts.
