the other day i was having a look round for something i could make a filter for my new cooling rig and come across something i would like to share with the other modders on this forum

the only thing is can i post a link to the shop on (E)? it only sells different types of mesh and dosen't sell any hardware or anything like that so is no compertition to OCUK

also when the build is complete i will post pic's and hopefully some sort of build log for those interested

Sounds interesting, I've been looking for something for the HAF...

Are you talking dust filters?

shadowscotland · 23 Jun 2009 at 20:18

just copy a pic into photobucket or simular and add it to your post.
That way we can all see it and not links to other shop are required.

sounds interesting

yes i am talking dust filters, and infact i've already started using it and works well, still early days to say how well it stops dust build up but airflow is slightly improved from the foam stuff i was using before

i will post some pics a little later i have mates round right now

razer1978 · 23 Jun 2009 at 21:28

ok here's the pic from the eb store i got it from

quote from page
"Ultra Fine Stainless Steel Woven Wire Mesh Fat Quarter - You Won't Believe That It Is Metal

This piece of woven wire cloth is super fine, with an closed weave. There are 200 holes per linear inch!!

This is an ideal material for textiles and dress making. As such we have listed it here as available by the fat quarter, this is usually a patchwork and quilting unit of measure."

but i saw a different use

and i have loads of things i want to try, first one is replaceing the window on my antec 900 with this mesh and make filters for the front intakes and then in a couple of weeks when i get my HAF 932 make more filters for that

A one pence piece ? :confused:

razer1978 · 23 Jun 2009 at 22:48

no i think that's there for scale, here's another couple of pic's but really need a microscope to see the holes in this yet temps are lower than normal room temp 30'c cpu temp 36 before room temp would be about the same but idle temp would be around 42'c

anyway here's the pic's

this stuff is so fine yet it's made from steel

to give you some idea, the strands are like fine cotton yet made from Stainless Steel

The mesh is in front of it but it's so fine, it's hard to see.

I've been looking for something like that for a while. Will investigate.

get some tights from your local supermarket! and cut them to the fan and fasten them tightly works wonders!

Hmm, metal cloth + exposed innards of a pc = bad idea?

Yeah I did that with a mod of mine. Tights work a treat and filter all the dust

As he is not making a cloak for his graphics card, I can't see how a metal mesh dust filter can be any more dangerous than the rest of a metal computer case.

PK!

razer1978 · 24 Jun 2009 at 18:48

ok i've been having a play with it and have made my first Prototype

this is the filter i made for where my pc is but is all soon to be changed so didn't see the point in showing yet, but there are 3 fans behind where the filter is blowing cool air over the front and side of the case

this is how much dust and dog hair it picked up in about 2 hours

this is what i was using before but let way to much dust through

here's another view of the old stuff

i've also retro fitted (with tape so no pics yet

) my kids computer case with filters all round, mainly due to me having to rebuild it today and OMG it was caked

will update when there's progress, i'm off to make a cloak for my graphics card lol
