Is it Possible to Keep Dust Out by Using Lots of High CFM Fans?

Just curious if this will work cause I'm thinking of buying 7 sunon 108CFM fans for my UFO2 both for watercooling and to plug up the 120mm holes.
 
As long the air is not filtered, the more you pump in the more dust it will get.
 
You would think the dust wouldnt have time to settle, but I have an unfiltered high speed intake fan and I still have to go after the area in front of it with a can of air every now and then.
 
Seems to me like both low and high speed fan setups result in dust but the dust builds up in different ways =/
 
I use a mesh like the stuff on the front of a CM Stacker case for fan intakes. It does not stop all the dust but it stops most of it and still allows good airflow for high CFM fans.
