spec me a dust filter case

jayextreme · 26 Nov 2010 at 04:18

Hi all,

been thinking about getting a new case for quite a while. My room is carpeted so dust is inevitable. Would people spec me a case with dust filter so I can just clean the filter regularly?
Would be happy if the case is no more than 50 quids.

Many thanks.

Antec 300 as a good washable dust filter at the front. CM960 II has mesh thats cleanable, dunno about filter though.

This may well fit the bill.

If you want a good dust free case, you need positive air pressure > like the FT01 or FT02. But they are not cheap, don't know any other case manufacture's like Silverstone Tech who use positive air pressure.

I use the FT01 £150 best case l've had yet...

You don't need to have a "positive pressure designed case" to have positive pressure. Just make sure you have more intake than exhaust fans.

If it was just the case of more intake fan's to get positive air pressure, since most case's use 120mm or 140mm intake fan's you would not get the air pressure needed to be any use. That's why they use x2:180mm[700rpm] Intake Fan's to create a good amount of air pressure to have the desired effect on the case:FTO1,etc, while only having x1:120mm exhaust fan.

Apart from less cleaning the case is easy to work with as well....
