Dust Guards - any good'ns?

nikuls · 2 Mar 2007 at 23:44

So, I'm planning on possibly having 2 120mm fans on the front of my case and so dust is my main worry at the moment. Are there any ones with a good reputation? I've seen some Akasa ones that look quite good and some metallic ones, but I don't know which to go for.
Anybody got some that would recommend?
Cheers.
Dave.

The akasa ones are easy to fit and work well.
The only downside is they do restrict the cooling in the case a bit but that's better than filling the case with dust.

xD As a matter of fact I use the opposite. I have an air compressor in the garage and I blast the crap out of my boxes when I feel they're getting too dusty.

Looks like I'll just be getting the Akasas. I'm not worried about air flow, with 3 120mm intakes my case should be nice and cool

If you want a cheap and extremely effective method, raid your wifes underwear drawer and find some tights, unless you like to wear 'em yaself, in which case raid your own.

Cut the toes off to the desired length and stetch them over the fans, using elastic bands if needed to keep them in place.

Joking aside, they let the air through and keep dust out better than any pc dust covers.
