Can anyone recommend a good fan filter for a 200mm fan? It will need to attach directly to the fan as it is mounted outside the panel. In case you are wondering, the chassis is a HAF XB EVO with a NH-D15s CPU Cooler, so the fan has to be mounted on the outside. Thanks in advance.

ORLY?

So like screw into the corner holes? Those holes are usually filled with screws, and fans are usually made of plastic which means magnets won’t work.  All I’ve got for you is ugly MacGuyver I’m afraid. 
 

What I might hack up:

Spoiler

Get some adhesive Velcro strip (hook not mushroom), separate it, and attach the hook strip around the outside of the fan (trimming with scissors or an ax to knife will be needed) then buy either a sheet of aquarium filter or a prefilter for a circular air filter, cut it into a square of the appropriate size, and just stick that to the Velcro.  Not pretty but it will filter.  Bonus if the material is cheap enough you can just throw it away instead of washing it out to clean it.

 

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.
