home made dust filter with panyhose, best way?

that is aparently the best solution, using pantyhose in theory filters out dust without restricting air flow too much. I recently did a test with my own rig and discovered that a pair of tights was almost as efficient as my purchased dust filters. Made me really regret buying my extra filters....
i wouldnt shell out unless you have money to waste. Hope this helps

Yea that seems logical to me. Also a good way to keep dust out is positive airflow.

To keep it in place i would just screw it on along with the fan so the screws are keeping that pantyhose on.
simple as that.

screws and silocon calk 
i cut mine into squares a little larger than my fans and just used the fan clips on my xaser to hold them in. If your screwing them on with the fans be very careful that your fans arent so powerful in their intake that they tear the pantyhose off through the screws and suck them in...as happened on my first test. It shorted the fan and everything sharing that psu cable!!!!

If you superglue the panty hose around the fans casing it will hold it extremely well, I suggest you stretch it well and superglue. If you mess up or want to remove the panty hose later, Nail polish remover will remove superglue.
If you have an old fan filter with the medium no good, use the frame and superglue the panty hose to the old filter

I've got it in place, i used a couple of very small pieces of sticky tape to hold the square in place and then screwed the fan screws through it. I put the filter on the inside of the fan for 2 reasons, firstly so that i wouldn't have the prob Vrykyl had with the pantihose getting sucked into the fan and secondly cos it's a blue neon that shines out the front of the case so I didn't want to cover it.
It's made the fan look cooler too as the illumation is now set against a black background

Tell me about it, When I was at the supermarket buying the Panty hose last time I made sure the grocery boy bagged it up quickly. I also looked over my shoulder before I placed it in my grocery card, then I put a 20 pound bag of cat food on top of it, concealing it.

If you use your "panyhouse" for your computer, will you be handing out sunglasses so people don't get blinded by your bright white legs?

Pantyhose, sounds very innovative, makes me wonder who thought of it at first?
Well, if it works so well, I'm going to try it too!!
<------I'll be using her pantyhose; jk
