I really like the idea of cube cases where they separate things and leave the important components open for air flow and the air 540 has definitely caught my eye. The only issue i have though is that there is no bottom filter or top filter and i worry about dust and crap getting in there. I try and keep as clean as possible but no one is perfect. Is it something to worry about? Are there good fixes for it? or Is there a better option out there that offers what the 540 does but without the lack of filters?

 

Also i know that there are tons of posts like this but when i look at them i don't really get my question answered

It has intake filters and a exhaust filter doesn't matter

Also the 540 has filtered in take and relies on quite a bit of positive pressure, dust should not be an issue except for the PSU which inexplicably has no dust proofing at all so you might need to get a magnetic dust filter or a pantyhose or something.
