Antec 900 case owners please read

My Gaming machine uses a Antec 900 case, fantastic case that it is I'm struggling to keep the dust out!

I've got a couple of akasa filters on the 2x 120mm front fans but just can't seem to find a filter for the 200mm monster on the top.

Has anyone else managed to filter their top fan?

thanks

cant you d.i.y it using materials like tights/stockings streached over a homemade type cradle..i was thinking of getting the antec 900 but dust does seem a problem.
look for materials that are similar to the dust filters on the front 120mm's....let us know how u get on im 100% sure it can be fixed by d.i.y ..good luck !

I took a 2nd look at the case last night and i think the best DIY solution would be one of those cartridge style HEPA filters you get for bagless vacuum cleaners. I think one of these will fit inside the case underneath the fan as there is a bit of space inside the top.

really is a superb case though....If you want to run a high spec gaming machine on air nothing keeps it cool like one of these cases

Looks like the 200mm fan is actually just an exhaust fan so you don't need a filter on that one.

So hopefully just the 2x Akasa 120mm filters should do the trick

yeah it is an exhaust fan but if your still getting a dust problem streching a bit of old tight's over it may cure it while allowing your airflow to continue unhindered.....gl
