[SOLVED] Dust filters for Aluminium case (magnetic wont work on aluminium)

[Kcimor]

Hello.

So, i bought a computer case, i was thinking about buying magnetic fan filters, but then i realised the case was made from aluminium, and magnets wont stick to it.
Do you guys know about any solution that i dont know for easily removeable (for cleaning) of the filters? The only filters that come with the case are plastic filters that are supposed to be held in place by the screws fixing the fan/radiator.

I know about the "demciflex" filters, but i cant use those without cutting some parts of it (because of the screws).
If someone could help me id apreciate it.

Thanks

Its a desk

You could always attach something magnetic to the desk using adhesive and just attach magnetic filters to that.
3M adhesive tape some magnets/chunks of metal at the mounting points.

Well, thats one idea... but the thing is i didnt want to have to do something that made the pc ugly

If done right you wouldnt see them as they would be hidden by the filter once installed.
Im talking a piece of metal maybe 1mm thick and just large enough to adequately mount the magnets.

Put the magnets on the inside of the case near where you need the filter. (glue or tape them of course) Then use a magnetic filter. That way all the "ugly" is out of site.

There are filters that share the fan mounting holes if you wanna go that route.

yeah, i have found those demciflex filters, the thing is they arent oversized, i would have to cut the filter where there are screws below. but for now thats the cleanest opyion imo
