Fan filter mesh for case...?

[Legend]

Has anyone found something like this in the UK? I've found a couple of US sites selling it, but no-one in the UK. Basically looking for a fairly large piece to be used as a dust filter on a top panel. Similar to what Phanteks use on their cases.

I have a similar question. I want a roll of mesh filter material that is nylon. As nylon pass thru the most air. I don't care what website it is, UK or US or elsewhere. A search on the internet shows co. like newegg that sell the mesh filter in a roll in PVC material, but not nylon

decifilter sells filter w/ nylon, but they have to sell me the plastic edge, so they are selling 1 filter at a time, which is more $ than just the sheet

Yeah that's what I was looking for also. It's a shame Demciflex don't sell their mesh on its own by the role, but I guess that wouldn't make much business sense for them given how much their filters cost. The site Tupro linked above is actually quite good, but they don't seem to have any nylon products, they all seem to be metal based. They do have a fibreglass one though which seems the closest thing.

Yeah, as per that Silverstone link, those steel ones do compromise air flow quite a bit. I also saw someone ages ago on overclock.net did a test with something similar and while it did a good job of keeping dust out, temps were pretty bad vs a regular filter.

my mesh filter sheet has arrived from ebay. It's not remotely like the filter from my case. My filter is very fine, and I can't see the little square. So it's smaller than the ones that comes with any tower case. Is that a good thing or bad thing?

Probably good for stopping dust, but it may also be good at stopping the air as well, which obviously isn't ideal. All depends how restrictive it is. You could do a crude little test and put a fan one side, see how much air you feel coming through the other side.
