Hi all,
Wondering if anyone could give me some dimensions for the top vent on the Carbide 270r before I commit to buying..? I get a LOT of dust so would be looking at a filter...

Like this:
Demci Filter

Help appreciated thanks!
 
Unfortunately the entirety of the top panel for the 270R won't be covered since they have two different dimensions.

400R

Even if the filter you've chosen will cover the fan ports/placements, you're going to be left with a periphery around the largest fan mount through which dust will enter.

One work around is to get some nylon mesh(from your hardware store) and cut one to your size(of the 270R) or change to a case that has a thorough top fan filter area, much like the Phanteks Eclipse P400 range of cases.
 


the 270R is 360mm x 175mm.. However if you manage to find one, let me know!
 


What about 330r titanium top cover?
 
I was watching hardwareCanucks' 270r case review, and it looked like the 400c top filter may fit the 270r. I do not know what the 400c dimensions are, but I know you can buy extra 400c filters on the Corsair website.
