Eh, this might save you a couple bucks in your next purchase, but it's kind of annoying when a company such as frozencpu.com sells fan filters for 5 bucks a piece just beacuse it has the name, "Computer fan filter". I recently bought some 120mm fan filters (exact same product) off of www.mcmaster.com for $2.17 a piece.
Anyone else have some good money saving stores they like to shop at? Just because it's technical defination doesn't say anything about a computer, doesn't mean it won't work. Look around, you could save a couple bucks.

Only one question about this deal.....how much was your shipping? And (approximately) to where?
Whenever I buy filters, it's usually as an add-on with something else, so doesn't really add much to the shipping. Oh, and I seldom buy from frozencpu just because of their prices! :rolleyes:
Xoxide or SVC are usually better choices. :D

Well, I ordered them along with some tubing for my water cooling loop, box off 100 "case" screws, 80mm fan grills( likse 80 cents a piece), and a box of 100 black oxidized screws($10, where as the local store sold 30c a piece). My total was around $40 with like $5 shipping from Illinois to Wisconsin. The kind of annyoing this is that they don't tell you shipping costs untill after place the order, but it's always dirt cheap anywhere in the states. My box probably weighed around 8/9 pounds and only $5???
I guess I've fallen in love with mcmaster a bit..... All the stuff I bought would of costed me about $90 from actual computer stores and local hardware stores...
