Hey people,

 

So i want to make some dust filters for my case which normally would be pretty easy, the problem is I need some transparent material...

 

I'm currently using the Silverstone Raven RVZ02 windowed version, so black mesh will just look silly.

 

All ideas welcome.

 

Thank you.

Use black pantyhose. Stretched thin enough, it isn't anywhere near opaque. Granted, it will gather dust and will have to be cleaned periodically, just like any other dust filter.

why do you think some fine black mesh would look silly in a case like that? it should look quite good actually. mesh on the inside of the panels should be easy to pull off, and largely unseen

If you want mesh material I usually recommend 20x20 bug screen as it does a decent job at trapping dust, this nylon mesh may do but is opaque white:

I was thinking it would look silly when the leds are on and it would show too much.
