A google search revealed to me that the stockings idea has been around for a while. However, I saw this very detailed test which shows that the stockings do a reasonable job of catching larger dust particles, but not so great with finer particles.

From the bottom of the page:
"the commercial filter material traps and holds very fine particles that would easily fit through the holes in the weave. I would presume electrostatic attraction plays a part in this. Stockings that were anti static treated would not attract fine particles in this way and the fine threads used may not hold them.

Some of this material was placed under the stocking in the round holder above for a long term test. This revealed that a stocking is not that effective as it passed about 50% of mostly finer dust."

My side funnel COMES with a filter, but then again my case cost a fucking 80$

Also, the tea filters for making tea, the steel ones, have the perfect mesh too.
i savaged one once and told ma a crow took it away LOL.

My original TT Armor for about $150 when I got it has filters for the front, but it doesn't have one on the side because it's a fucking 250mm fan lol. I have yet to see a computer case that comes with a filter on an over-sized fan like that.

if you still cant decide, this would do, but it would offer quite a lot of drag.

and as for 250mm mesh.
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/1..._Black_Filter_Black_Mesh.html?tl=g47c223s1092

but its not very cheap, and it will catch a ton of dust. where do you live exactly? is there a lot of dust in heaven?

Shit, when did they start making a 250mm filter? I'm buying that as soon as I get a job. Well, maybe, idk, I might just get a new fucking case since I hate this one lol.

I live in the US, but my room has poor ventilation and it gets dusty as hell cuz I never clean. No, I don't want to open the window cuz I fucking hate bugs and the screens don't keep 'em out.

ofc i know you are from ohio. but a little room cleaning goes a long way.

but, if you stay where theres little dust, but lots of bits of fabric, then go for the 1mm round mesh. believe me, dust is not the problem, fabric particles are. fabric particles stick to the blades and thus the dust are able to settle on these fabric particles and dirty the blades.

theJesus · May 8, 2011

No, it's definitely dust. My room is insanely dusty :laugh:

Cause stickies are for threads with useful information everyone should read before posting random questions

Besides, this thread is popular enough to pop up on top regularly.

de.das.dude · May 12, 2011

yeah. no need of stickying.
but should'nt this be stickied?

i guess its pretty informative, so all you need is creativity. forget bout the money, all you need is tools with creativity
forget the looks, neat is better but function is number 1

It's a good guide. I tried this with a dead Coolermaster fan, unfortunately they didn't have a cap i could take off with a knife.. i tried cutting through but to no avail

I'll see if i can find it tomorrow, i don;t think they will help tho as there are cuts all over the face of it and a deep slash from where i tried to cut through the plastic with a razor :wtf:

de.das.dude · May 12, 2011

Through the plastic?? WTF? then it must be a different type of mounting. bearing ones.

it come with a hyper 212?
did you try removing the shiny sticker too?
i guess this is a ball bearing type fan.

Yea, i removed both stickers. I'm not 100% sure what it came with, i did have a 212, but this looks exactly the same as the Blue LED fans from CM.
It's not a problem, i got plenty of spare fans, i just like opening things up

i think highest airflow filters are the ones that are shaped like an accordion

Athlonite · May 12, 2011

many faces to catch dust although I would have thought an more zigzag shape might be a little better for airflow
