I have an antec 900 and im worried about dust issues so I decided to be totally cheap and just stuck a piece of the Swifter material on the two front fans (stays by itself cuz teh fans are on high ^^) and a piece on top. Now the answer may seem obvious but, does this have any impact on the airflow/temperature of the system?
 
Swiffer is way too thick to use as a dust filter. I'd try to use a dryer sheet instead.
 
I've heard dryer sheets work well, but I don't like the residue they could leave.

I saw something in Maximum PC that said to use a Swiffer Duster (is that where you found that idea?) I too am not crazy about how thick it is though.

What I do is buy some cheap furnace filters (blue) and cut them up, cut little squares of the material to fit over the fan. The material is also rigid enough that you don't need to secure all 4 sides of it.

I use the dryer sheets, but only after they have been used. No problem for four years on two different PC's.
