Fan Filters and Antec Cases

[ShadowFox]

Will an 80MMM aluminum fan filter fit in the clips that antec cases offer for fans?

Well antec sx880, sx1080, sx680 have built in filters in the front

but for the regular sx1030s, 630s, 830s; the clip only has enough room to accomodate the fan itself

makeshift filter for sx8xx/10xx

the sx1030 series has built in filters (more like crosscut metal) but if you want more, just put in a mesh/wool type filter between the plastic of the case and the grill.

Are you referring to filters like this?

I have an Antec SX630 case and one of those filters. They don't fit.... perfectly anyway. I just jam it in there. It stays in there really well so I don't think there's any problem. Just be sure to not screw the filter too tightly on the fan.

You can also go to your local walwart and buy filtering material. Then you cut it to length and for your front fans stick it inside the case and the rear ones, outside the case. Well you know, depending on which way they blow.

Thanks LuDaCriS66, thise were the type of filters I was refering to. I was thinking of getting that same case and using those filters. I already have a 1030b and didnt really think that the filters could fit, but I wanted to make sure.
