Intake dust filters...

Could i just throw something together from say mosquito net or a pair of leggins or does that affect the airflow too much?

 

Should i just spend the money on real filters instead? Seems really overpriced imo...

Depneds on the mosquito net. Leggins sounds like a bad idea though. Problem with improvised filters is not only the affect on airflow, it can also cause annoying noises because of how the airflow gets manipulated. I'd go for real filters. Check out the Silverstone filters. They are 8 bucks each for 120mm and 140mm: http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=316.

 

They are okay, don't affect airflow too much and you don't get any weird sounds.

Mosquito net seems ok but leggins would miles too thick and would affect airflow

Leggins are a big NO. Mosquito net depends, the holes on the ones I have in front of my windows aren't nearly small enough. So only if the holes are small enough to resemble a fan filter. Here's an example and a good not so expensive fan filter, they also come in 140mm. http://www.newegg.com/global/uk/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999217

Oh yeah those silverstone ones don't seem too bad, I found the FF122 120/140 for about 4 bucks each

 

Cheers!

I'd say biggest problems are with mounting. You want something neat and easy to clean after all.

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to build custom side panels that integrate dust filters for maximum air flow and cooling.

Are such things available?

I would say just fork the money out and get something like demci filter for your case, they catch more dust and easyer to maintain .... and there not that expensive
