Home Made Fan Filters

post #1 of 18
Thread Starter 
Well it seems i'm cleaning my computer a lot from dust,then i remembered i had some foam that came with some motherboards.As you can see from the pics,they work perfect.Also they really don't restricted the air that much,Only thing is the one i have on the side.Is when i turn computer off it falls off,So i have to put filter back in place when computer is on.lol

my antec 1200 fans are all custom filtered, also the whole case is isolated so no air gets in unfiltered. the only thing that pisses me off is that i gotta put something on top of my 250mm fan when i switch it off. now if i could somehow install the fan grill with flaps...
