I have a Cooler Master HAF Mid tower, sitting on hardwood floors. The room is a decent size for a NYC area apartment (12x35 for the kitchen and living room?). My fiance and I trek near the computer desk a lot as it sits between our kitchen and living room.
I am running the front fan as an intake, Noctua NH-U12P with both fans blowing the same way out the rear of the case and a Thermaltake Silent CAT 120mm as an exhaust out the back. Also the monster fan on top blowing as exhaust out the top.
Just this past weekend to see how this works, I bought some high flow air conditioner filter material and cut it for the bottom of the case that's exposed and the side, monitored my temps and nothing changed (which is good, my case runs super cool)
I own a Datavac ED500, my god i love that thing. Every 3 months or so I take the machine outside and go to town on blowing out more dust than imaginable.
My question I guess is what do people find success with as far as making their case dust proof? Is that just not feasible? Would it be ok to put some of that high flow material over the bottom of the front panel(seems to be where most of the dust collects since it's the intake fan)
