Can i use a couple of tissues as a fllter for my case?

I do not want to spend 10 dollars on a filter

so this will suit me well if it works and will not cause more dust than there already is into my psu

 

A filter like this:

OFF TOPIC: I suggest every poll from now on to have "**CK EA" option instead of "Other"

I think that would impede airflow rather more than just dropping the cash on a filter.

The ultimate in scrubby solutions.

Well, maybe that would work, but why not just spend the 10 dollars? It's not that much.

The problem is

i dont have 10 dollars

 

I don't know. Tissue is basically made of lint. If you want to macgyver it, I bet a pantyhose would be a lot better. It's been done in cars for ages.

 

Pantyhose are cheap and do a decent job.

I am going to do a build log
