For those who use cohesive air cooling or other means to acheive a positive air pressure within the case.
I recently built a wooded box with furnace air filter material to filter the air going into the case. There is about 135 square inches of filter area which is about 5 times the intake area of the fan. This way the intake is not restricted and the CFM is not reduced, at least not enough to notice. The box sits under the blower which is mounted on the side of the case and the air is directed onto the heat sink.
Should keep the inside of the case very clean and dust free.
After a few weeks I will open things up and check it out.

Sounds like a good idea. I just may have to try that when I get around to getting some cohesive air setup.

Just need to get a job, save the money, order the parts, get the time, install it, uninstall it, fix it, reinstall it properly, so on and so forth.
