What I should do?

Hi! My case is the Corsair SPEC 02, it came with 2 120mm fans, one is for intake and one is exhaust, just like this:

But I'm tired of dust, really tired. A lot of dust gets inside the PC and I have to clean it every 1 - 2 weeks, and i'm ruuning out of canned air.

 

So, what you guys recommend? I can change the speed of the fans, so maybe I make the intake fan run faster. (I think that is related to possitive pressure)

 

Also, how can I use pantyhose as fan filters? My case have fan filters for the PSU and for the top of the case, but not for the front mesh, so a lot of dust gets accumulated in that part, and I have to vacuum it every time I clean.

 

Thanks :D

Fan filters.

 

Just take some pantyhose, stretch it tightly over your fans, and then put the fans into the case and secure them in.

Honestly if you have that much dust getting into your pc.

You should probably Hoover your house more.

Also just get some fan filters they are cheap anyway.

Tights, if you still don't know, look at google images or wikipedia.

My house isn't that dusty, the problem is that the front mesh of the case doesn't have a proper dust filter, so it goes all way in the case. I can't get fan filters where I live, that's why I'm asking about the pantyhose method :D

 

These are pantyhose:
