Dealing with an unavoidably dusty environment?

[AintGotEnoughSleep]

So, I'm finally tired of gaming on a laptop and have finally decided to get a new PC in my dorm. The only problem is, there's almost always construction going on around the area, or inside the university itself, which means there's always a lot of dust, sand, and grit in the air.

Now the case I was looking at was a Corsair 100R, and was wondering is there any specific fan set-up that is good at keeping the internals as dust free as possible? Or are there any 'after-market' way's of dust-proofing the case vents?
The method I was thinking about was perhaps a very thin cloth taped to the case where the intake fans are, and preferably washing that cloth every week or two depending on how much dust it captures. I know some cases come with dust filters, but availability and price is a major factor in my region, nevertheless, I would love recommendations for low-medium end cases. Cheers!

yeah a thin,fine cloth should work,also make sure you have more intake fans than exhaust fans to keep the pressure higher inside the case

Use some thin tights, no joke. That and some ductape works wonders. maybe even double layer it.

 

Just cut them up to size along all perforations that are intakes and keep positive pressure.

You can also get screening at your local hardware store Use whatever the finest screaning that they have. I would imagine tights work pretty well too.  For fasting just hole punch where the fan screws need to got through and put it between the fan and case.

Panty hose. Seriously. It works wonders.

Well, my dorm isn't too big, and air purifiers would just cost more than a jury-rigged solution

i really don't understand how PC's get dusty, it's magic to me. The inside of my little brother's PC is fucking gross, and he has it on a table in open air in a fairly clean bedroom. Whereas my own PC, i smoke like a chimney while sitting 3 feet away from it, in a dusty room, usually burning incense  yet the inside of my PC looks like an apple store, always clean and shiny.
