Fractal Define S dust filter

[josh72790]

I've been looking for some sort of dust filter to use on the top of my case. So far I have found one website that sells a fractal r5 filter, but it is over $40 after shipping. Does anyone know what material is used or where I could buy a filter for the top of my case?

I've looked through amazon but couldn't find anything. The opening on the top of the case is larger than the fans so a typical fan cover won't work.

I see, so you're trying to make it cover the top vents from edge to edge, I guess. Is http://www.demcifilter.com/p0564/Fractal-Design-R5-3-Vent-Top-Dust-Filter.aspx the site you were talking about that ships for over $40?

Yea, it was the 2 vent top cover but shipping was almost $20. Figured I would be able to find something else, but so far I haven't been able to.

The top is often the exhaust, don't you want to place filters on the intakes?

These filter itself is no more than un-dense foam, cost pennies, they are charging you for the "mount." There are fans with these mount built-in.

BTW, if you are going to use dust filters, you must be diligent in cleaning them periodically, depending on host dusty where you are, 'coz once clogged, they do more hard than un-filtered. Sound like a good idea at first until you are tasked with a chore.
