I have 3 80mm intake fans,and my box is on the floor>

and in the front,there is no real good way to put the normal fan filters on>
http://home.adelphia.net/~onegighz/MVC-015Fm.JPG
so for .59 cents,I went to home depot and bought a home ac/heating filter>

and just cut a piece out,and now it filters the entire intake area!

A very good idea man. Nice case too, very clean in there. You can also use dryer sheets. They smell good and most are static free.
Those antecs are so versatile.

very very sweet

i have 2 antec sx1030b's very nice cases

i was extremely cheap and just used a paper towel lol, it worked just fine, caught all the dust and let plenty of air through, i used a real thin one...

really nice wiring job you have there

especially the motherboard header wires and the extra tiny card with ribbon cable above your vid card

I found a material that I like even better,99 cents ,
it's for an in-the-window ac unit,it's easier to work with

Filters do obstruct some of the air flowing in and out of the computer, but they also trap a crapload of dust in a very short time. I don't have any in my current computer, but I'm putting in an order for a few fan filters shortly.

I think I'll go with the AC/Heater filter...sounds like it would work better...
