Lazy way for dust prevention.

1. Have dust filters on all your intake fans. https://www.demcifilter.com/HAF-932
2. Have positive airflow... more cfm intake than exhaust.
3. Cover the computer with a sheet (turned off) when vacuuming the room.


/e Smartest move would be just to get a new case. All those left side fan areas are allowing tons of dust into your computer.

Kind of depends on the dust filters porosity.

This case, for example has filters on all it's intake fans...

Some will. No system is perfect. I have a full tower case with all intake fans, filtered. I don't have to really do a serious clean, except maybe once a year.

Dust is small, there are many leaks in a computer case. The CM HAF 932 with it's side fan mounts...leaks dust like a sieve.



/e Exhaust fans aren't a problem as long as they are running. Top fan mounts need to have exhaust fans installed or they will let dust fall in.
