Fan FIlters

Mikius10001 · February 9, 2016

Hey all, wasn't quite sure where to put this, but it's air and fan related so this seemed like a good spot.

So, I've got 2 intake (Side and front) and 2 exhaust (back and top). Firstly, I'm assuming that's the best places to put all of the in an Anter One mid tower, and if not please let me know.

I'm having issues with dust, lots of it. So I'm looking to buy some filters.

This is the cheapest thing I could find on Amazon http://www.amazon.ca/120mm-Cooler-Filter-Dustproof-Computer/dp/B01303JLHG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1455042857&sr=8-3&keywords=120mm+fan+filter Would these do the trick? Or should I invest in so better one, magnetic and the likes.

this will be better, and almost same price

these will be better yet, but are a lot more expensive

best option?

get a pair of pantyhose and cut them into filters

Pantyhose, DIY goodness.

I was looking at the magnetic ones as well, the drawback like you mentioned, its like 13 bucks, were as 2 non magnetic is 13, or 10 just plain filters for 6. Although, 2 filters for 13 bucks isn't much. Guess I'll go that route

(side note, how would one make a filter out of pantyhose. Just stretch it around the fan and elastic it on or something?)
