Yeah ive heard smoke can be a killer but ive never understood why. the things have HS on them and i clean them often enough. but yeah ive had "the habbit" (im under no illusions its an addiction but i enjoy it, everyone has a vice or 2).

Guess theres no pre made ones. thanks for your time guys. Rep for all.

I have searched the high's and lows of the interwebs and i found nothing. only 120mm's and below. Sorry for not being able to find one, but i am sure someone on OCN can make one or point you in the right direction.

Oh yea and wipe the mesh, another 20 seconds....

Edit: BTW, I dont even use filter except on the bottom one to keep the carpet out.

I got myself a little kitchen brush, about the size of a fingernail brush but a bit softer. Makes cleaning the grills and the fan filters a snap. Usually gathers the dust bunnies into a big clump that's easily tossed in the trash. Then a quick blast with a can of air to finish up. Popping the case door open every couple weeks to blow out the inside dust only takes a minute.

I guess if you clean it, it wouldn't be that big of a deal. But just make sure you clean all your tracers every now and then (at least I would). You never know, that smoke residue might be slightly conductive.

And the only thing I can come up with for filters is you could use the 140mm fans with the 120mm mounting holes, and use a 120mm filter. The only problem with that is that part of the fan won't be covered.

But hey, you could argue that your getting the best of both worlds right? High airflow and decreased dust.

jtypin · 11-30-08

Only 20mm will not be covered

If you make pancakes do you make em half way then eat them? no you mix the little nubs up and cook em THEN eat them! I am still looking for 140mm fan filters. i found some, but they were Australian so i was like....ahhhhh no nevermind.

Didn't like the cheap look of the Sunbeam fan controller so I modded one of my spare 5.25 drive covers and some updated pics with the accelero.

TheCh3F · 11-30-08

Got any pictures of the Sunbeam "mod-in-progress" so others might give it a try? I love my Rheobus but damn is it ugly.

got a question for those of you who watercool with a cm690, where do you hide cables from rad fans and

I run everything along the right side of the case, between the back panel and the case door. I have one 3pin fan adapter extended out from the top rad to allow for easy+clean use of a side panel fan. Really you shouldn't have any wires interfering with your AC or WC setup if you take the time to do some cable management. Essentially, go crazy with the zip-ties.

*My DVD drive is on rma atm if you notice the hole in the front of my case.

oh your rad is on the top. Hmm, I might need to try that, though I would have to hack out some of the top metal.

Right now my rad is hanging off the back, so the fans cables have nowhere to go unless I put them running over the board.

One rad in front as well.
