So I've ordered these 140mm dust filters + screws from aliexpress for my Fractal design core 2500

But I didn't thought about how I'm going to secure the screws. What do you think would be a good solution?

They should just go straight through into the fan.

 

The main problem will be when you want to clean them, you will need to take the whole fan off.

Had something similar myself before, and i ended up using some magnetic tape i had laying around.

You can go to local hardware store and get some nuts to hold them in place. But you shouldn't need filters to top slots because of dust. Only time when its falling in, is when PC isn't running.
