Finding a dust proof case

[Clueless Human]

Hello

 

I'm trying to look for a dust proof case that has filters on almost all the openings that is good for M atx and atx motherboard. (Air-cooled)

 

Budget is less than $180.

 

Thanks

 

I am also eying the S340 Elite but not sure if the 2 fan is enough to cool my device. With no cooling for the Hard drive and missing filter on the top.

No case is dust proof 100%, but all mid to high end case have dust protection : 750D, enthoo and much more

Phanteks P400S or Enthoo Evolv or H440 from NZXT

Be quiet silent base 600 or 800. (Mid tower vs full tower) Both are well under your budget.

 

Both have easily removable filters in the front and bottom. The rest of the fan ports are output. (Top is always out, back is always out.)

 

If you're getting lots of dust past dust filters, increase your input flow and decrease your output flow.

@SirFlamenco you have a point.

 

@Shiv78 is Noctis 450 as good as H440?

 

Thanks for the recommendation... going to research the cases mention above

That's nearly impossible..

Noctis is mostly a H440 but with better looking exterior and underglow LEDs.

The issue i had with the H440 is the foam. I don't think it would last long but overall its a damn good case

Again, no case is dust proof. 

You can decrease the amount of dust entering the system by having filters on all intakes and keeping a positive static pressure (more air moving into the case than out from fans). 

You should check out the Corsair 400c. It has front and top filters and looks pretty clean.

All the filters in the world won't protect a black case looking like it snowed brown residues all over the place on the outside.
