Hello all,
I would first like to say that I have just now signed up to oc-forums and this is my first official post. I have been browsing the forums for the past few weeks and have seen many a person mention using filters and mesh and whatnot to prevent dust from entering precious cpu enclosures, well, I too am one of these people, I got sick of dust and one night I got creative.
Why spend money on filters and/or mesh when anyone who has built their own system has access to a great filter. The grey foam that comes inside the package of every motherboard is perfect. It's is not as restrictive as some of u may be thinking, I cut pieces to size with a razor and added it to all intake holes on my case and was able to keep and ambient case temp of about 29-33*C. And the best part , no dust and no extra money spent. Electrical tape or thin strips of duct tape seem the be the best way to affix it.
Hope this helps out some of the u guys, let me know what u happens.
