Corsair 540! check out Linus video, he reviewed the case long time ago

Air 540 is a great case only it doesn't have top dust filters so it can get pretty dirty and especially builds dust on the inside of the acrylic window (which scratches when you try to wipe it).

Why do you need a dust filter on top when your fans are on exshausts?

When PC is off dust particles tend to settle and enter the case. I get it on my case quite frequently.

Yep it's a good way to go. I'm thinking of getting a top dust filter real soon for mine. Other than that it is a fantastic case!

I have impulse purchased both S340($55) and Air 540($90). YOLO RIGHT? :D I will probably use the S340 on my spare gaming rig and yeah I saw some silverstone aftermarket dust filter that I can purchase for the top part of the case on amazon for $20 I think.
