Best Case for Dusty Environment?

[DutchTexan]

What case(s) would y'all recommend as the absolute best for a very dusty, industrial environment?

Bitfenix Survivor.But any case that has full dustproofing should work some have coarer meshes sure but it shouldn't affect performance that much

A case with a good filter in front. But that won't do much. It has more to do with case airflow and where you place the case.

Or you could consider a completely sealed case sutch as the streacom db4

What kind of PC will this be?

An everything, but gaming PC. CAD and internet surfing is the simplest way to describe it. The environment will be full of dust, originating from fabric and industrial sewing machines.

I feel like this case is too unreviewed for $167

I like that case, but I don't think the shop owner is going to take my $300 case suggestion well

 

Maybe 70-170 will be reasonable

Or should I be asking what is the best material to be purchased for case filtration?

 

The filters for sale on amazon are way too open. Maybe I should cut some thin foam and insulate all the openings?

Yeah I was going to say you might be better off getting a case that you think looks the best and just getting better filtration on it, but also configuring the components to run at a slightly higher fan curve to keep everything cool.

 

You could use pantyhose (not kidding) or a similar material around already-installed filters on something like a Node 302 or whatever case you want. Just keep in mind you're not going to keep everything out, it'll just be cleaner for a longer amount of time.

I think that is what I will do. She has some ultra thin Under Armour-type material I can probably just stretch out and superglue all inside the case. Haha maybe just bag the whole case in some and cut out a little dot for the 110v. Dust proofing is the biggest concern. It builds up everywhere except the restrooms.
