Firstly i'd just like to say i love this case...now on with the question -

I've noticed that the 2 front 80mm intake fans are getting quite clogged up with dust, but I don't know how to clean them out. I can't see a way to somehow take the filter out without unscrewing hard drives and taking the motherboard out. There is a black clip on the bottom at the front which might have something to do with it but i've tried pulling it out but it won't budge.

Anyone with this case know how to do it?

Thanx
Richie

It is based on a old ATC design, never personally done this on that case but I imagine you need to remove the front of the case to gain access to the fan filters.

Hmmmm...i couldn't see any screws that look like they would let me take off the front of the case. Ill have another look now

They may be little allen key type screws.

I use the one for the locks on my windows on the ATC cases to remove them

I use a vacuum cleaner to suck the dust out from the front. It does for me.

I managed to do it. The black clip i mentioned in my first post does come out (with a bit of force and a knife) and i was able to clean it. It was really clogged with dust.

Glad you got it sorted
