    my case is getting way toooo much dust inside...

    (i have vacuumed my room. ta!)

    thing is the dust filter on the Lian Li PC60usb v2 case has MASSIVE holes in it? thats the only fans sucking air into the case...

    can anyone recommend another material i can use as a filter?

    has anyone tried speaker grille cloth? i used it on my first ever mod when i attempted to overclock my first PC... but it died so i didn't see the results of the "new" filter....:eek:

    i bought some foam filters when i got my new mobo (like $2).... and all it did was decrease my airflow.... so i took em out, and i'll just clean it every once in a while.... not gonna worry about it too much to tell ya the truth... if u find somethin that doesnt decrease much airflow and works..... lemme know....

    the foam i have doesn't limit my airflow (not that i've noticed at least...), it's realy, i don't know what to call it, but loose? i guess that's the word...i hope you understand what i mean though, and it stops all my dust

    I dunno about in UK but over here at home depot and such, they sell these little filters to go inside the heating/air vents. They are about 4x12 inches and you get 6 or 8 in a pack, cant remeber for sure. They are only a few dollars too. I heard they work good, i got some around here somewhere but havent tried em yet.
