Hello, I am working on a Plex server that I plan on putting underneath my house next to my router. Under my house is a bunch of dry dirt and I would have the Computer case suspended from the bottom of the house so it isn't directly on the ground but I worry about large amounts of dust getting into my system making me clean it frequently. The case is a Corsair Carbide SPEC-01 with stock fans. Could I get some fan filters that would handle it or would those too require a lot of maintenance. idk, basically what is the best way to keep that case from getting dusty. I'd like to only clean it out maybe every 6mo. Thanks, sorry if nothing I said made sense

You'll never be able to keep a computer under your house and only have to clean it every 6 months.

.........why?

If noise is an issue, grab some Noctua fans or something.

1. That's where the Ethernet ports are

2. I don't ever want to see it once I get it setup

Though if it really won't work out i guess I'll run an Ethernet line somewhere

It'll probably be fine. You might want to add an extra fan as an exhaust at the rear if you only have the stock case fan:聽https://pcpartpicker.com/product/KzQypg/arctic-cooling-case-fan-afaco120pcgba01
