Hey guys, i have a shitty case from aerocool, i use a 120mm fan in the front of the case, but the dust filter got stuck in the fan and came off ripped in pieces... is there any kind of danger in letting the front fan without a dust filter if i clean the dust inside the computer in about 6 to 6 months or should i worry about it?

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

As @TheMidnightNarwhal said, there's no danger. You may want to invest in one of these though, I have a couple and they're quite nice.

No danger at all. You know back in days of yore, there were no dust filters, and our PCs didn't suffer any ill effects.

The white magnetic ones are the best for only $5.

Silverstone's the best. They make great products for a niche market.

Nah. Just observe how much dust gets inside there and clean it if nessessary. You'd have to live in desert to get problematic dust build up.
