This must be the stupidest question on the forum, but better safe than sorry i think.
I have my case side off, with a couple of fans on the perimiter, an 80mm blowing at my NV5 intake, and a 120mm at my memory. Thing is, this time of year we get alot of 'daddy long legs' (you kno, the flying spider type things) and moths. In the past 20 mins the neons and LED's n stuff have attracted a few to get blown threw fans into my system. Apart from the small massing of insect corpses, can these do any harm?
 
Humm maybe, since it was an actual bug getting into a box that the term "computer bug" came from.

gl :)
 
hehe i remember seeing a program about them little furry caterpillar type things that used to live in dusty computers. Figued my problem. I have a UV neon. They seem to LOVE it! stoopid bugs. not many of them enjoy the trip through a 3000Rpm 120mm fan :D
 
i would be most concerned about then getting in the fans and stoping the fans from turnig, its a slight risk but possible, also do you really want to be picking bug guts off of your pc.... i would close the case back up at least untill the bugs are gone or light a centranela candle.....
or you can always do the classis sit back with a beer and watch the bugs fly in....
 
If you get a real juicy one it could splatter into your mobo and short it, one in a million kinda thing but ya know always possible
the bigger worry is people spilling shit into it when u got the side off
 
Why don't you put the side back on and mount the fans to the side permanently. Then you can put a filter on them and never worry again. Bug guts...gross. Close the damn windows. How can you live with bugs flying around your house.

Get a cat. I have 2 and they are afraid of everything except bugs. They hunt them down and kill them for fun. :D
