air filter are already out ...
and if you don't want to buy special PC filters ... you can just use Hoover Filters ... but in the end dust will make it to ya PC anyway ... just clean it from time to time and you are fine :D

You can also buy filter foam sheets, and attach them to the fan intakes. (a lot of industrial pc/electric equipment already use them to protect against dust) looks like the dark gray foam a lot of pc stuff is packaged on but allows air through easily.

I know a some of the more expensive cases have included filter material for a few years now too, but not many include it because it will slow the airflow if people forget to clean them once in a while. :D

Well to make a long story short, I Came up with a Brilliant Idea ?

Most computers Take "Air" from Outside to inside. etc., well I have a good Idea, "Custom made and all Common case"s", Air Filters For PC's

My mother and I (she the Sower) are wrking on this, Is this a good Idea ??

I think it is, Cuz after 1 mos in my case my stuff is all Dusty inside, bad news, Dust buidlup causes Overheating and Fan Mal-Function.


Great, don't forget to show us a snapshot of the final product. :wink:

if you want it really seriously clean ... then put ya hardware into the dish washing machine ...
no for real .... I never had any real trouble with dust since I rewor my PC too often ... just take a brush and clean from time to time no big deal ... and no expensive equipment required ...

Just my 2 Cents...

Used dryer sheets work wonders as dust filters and are cheap. I use them on all my air inlets. About the commercial compressors...having worked in auto mechanic and auto body shops as a young kid, I know we had to put inline filters / dryers on our compressors because of the amount of moisture they created. We all know that moisture and electronics don't play nice together. Just a word of caution...
