Does enybody know of a good way to prevent dust to inhabitate the computers periphrals?

Eny good dust-filers or?

I have one fan-filter, but half of the filter is tuching the fan blades, lol..
They came in a mount, but I had to disassemble it cause it was no space for it..

u can use filters but they need to be cleaned at least once a week and they inhibit airflow, most people just dont use filters and then just clean out the whole comp a few times a year

Ok, but on the graficks card I get very dense dust..
I'm having trouble removing it..

[ripken204]

how are u removing it? alot of ppl just use a vaccum on a low speed with one of the attachment brushes on it, works just fine, but if u dont want to do that then u will have to just use the fan filters and if they dont fit ur fans then u need to get new fans, fans are cheap, ~8$ for a good one

I'm gona just start building a new computer when the dust builds up too thick

Seriously I removed the filter on an older machine when I was messing with
over clocking. no i have a cooler master cmstacker case. I don't like
how the dust builds up on the front and is hard to clean off.
So I removed the front covers and I'm going to stop by home depot to see if
I can find a filter I could use

amazing case by the way, but do u mean that just build up on the outside of the removeable tray? im pretty sure that there are little filters on the inside part of the tray unless that was with the TT Kandalf case

There are about 10 or so covers with a bunch of little holes that go
in front of the 120mm fans on the removable tray. What are they called?
You remove them if you want to install a CDROM drive or something.
I always had a hard time removing them to clean them, so last time I left them off.

they are just called removeable trays, take one off and look at the other side of it, there are filters on them, it says here

**** that's a nice case... pretty big, but really nice.

Next time I build a new computer from scratch I'll probably look into something like that. The ability to attach a fan directly onto the front of the hard drive bays is nice too... a good added touch by Coolermaster.

[ripken204]

its so my favorite b/c u can have 3 120mm fans on front and still use 2-3 of the front bays

I have a Cieftech case, and it has removable trays with fans like that CoolerMaster one, but with no filter..

So my HDD's are also soked in dense dust!
