Adding After Market Fan Filters

[Loe]

I have just bought the Coolermaster N200 and just found out it doesn't have a front fan filter, oh well, my bad.

 

There is space under the bezel which can house 120mm fans but what I was wondering is if I would be able to mount front fan filters there instead.

 

I was looking at getting the silverstone magnetic ones but can only find them with ridiculous shipping costs.

 

Does anyone know of any videos that show how to mount them because I can't find any or can tell me.

 

Also I was looking at this filter.

I have some on the side of my 300r. They have magnets on the corners but also have screw holes. I didn't think the magnets were strong enough so I used screws. Regular fan screws were fine for going through the filter and side panel and into the fan. I don't take them off to clean them I just vacuum them off.

So I would just have to take out the screws that would be holding in the fan and use longer ones with a washer or something?

No, regular fan screws will be fine.

You can always use pantyhose or the fabric air softeners.

I'll give it a look when I get the case (hopefully soon), I just thought because it is a pre-installed fan I might have some issues with screw length.

I could yes, I won't say I haven't thought about it.

I earn £20 a week, they are currently out of the budget (will be bought eventually), slow progression build with upgrades is what I am doing at the moment.

You generally won't ever need anything longer. The only time you might would be when you mount fans to a radiator. In that case the bolts are normally included.

Hmm, I don't plan on adding a radiator to the front as I don't plan on overclocking, I might in the future when I have the money for a new CPU and motherboard so that shall not be an issue.

 

Thanks for the responses.

I see buying something cheap just to replace later as pointless.

 

The case will house my current system until I can afford the new parts (upgrades).

 

Main reason I have done this is so I can be more decisive about my choices, and it is getting hotter and my current case has next to no airflow in it (like one 80mm exhaust)
