So I have been building a pc for my friend and have come across a dilemma , he is not a techy and I don't think he will be doing much maintenance on the PC but that is going to be a problem since its a gaming rig and Dust will severely effect the temps.

 

What I am asking is, does anyone know a good case that is very 'Dust Proof', Cool, And Quiet?

Just get any decent case, some magnetic dust filters, and tell him to clean them every now and then.

Get a nice case with dust filters and show him how to clean them, maybe do a nice full cleaning yourself every once in a while.

Any will do, it's really just like him buying a prebuilt and not cleaning it. (like so many people do)

I dont really have a case in mind but about the dust cleaning what I do for my friend is help him clean it out every couple months. Maybe you ccan do something like that

Any case from the obsidian series. Like the 750D or whatever he likes. They are full of dust filters and they are pretty good overall. (personal experience)

I was thinking about it, do you have any personal experience with it? if so how is it?

I don't but I haven't heard any negative things about it, only positives. It's quiet, fairly dust resistant, and it's got pretty good airflow for what it does.
