im probebly going to get an x-alien case in a few months, and i was thinking about geting filters. itl have 2 intake fans in the front, 1 on the side, a arctic cooling vga silencer on the vid card, a blow hole, 2 fans in the back, and the ones in the psu, so should i get filters and what do you recomend for fan layout. also, should i go for the aluminum filter or the fome ones from the egg.

itl have a fan controller, which will usualy be set to low, and ill be useing it for gaming,(some ocing, but mostly on the vid card)
 
Fan filter limits alot airflow.

Try to keep your intake cfm balance with your exhaust cfm.

Exhaust = A blowhole on top, fan on back
Intake = Fan in front and side.
 
what about the window fan. shoudnt it be intake as itle give the vga cooler fresh air to dele with?

and my room is kinda dusty(just a wee bit, but i dont what my cpu or psu cloged, as i cant cleen it that much)
 
Window fan = intake , good for card and air flow.

Why not just pass the vacuum once every 2 months in your computer or as needed.
With filter you'll have to unclog them once a month because they will kill the airflow once dirty.
