finally found my case

OK, heres the case im getting

Case


basically, my question is, will the mesh on it keep out dust, or should i be worried that within a few weeks the inside will be covered in dust??

thanks
 
It may keep out dust pretty well, but dust will collect inside regardless. Two of my computers only have an opening for the exhaust fan, and dust still collects in there. As far as cleaning out dust every few weeks, I don't think that would be nessacary. In fact the two computers i mentioned before, I have never really cleaned them in over 5 years and even with all the dust in there I never had much problems. I finally cleaned them out a week ago, and I used up almost an entire can of compressed air!

Nice case by the way. I personally like the mesh. In fact when I rebuild my Compqrap, I mean Compaq, I plan to cut out the side of the case and replace it with mesh like that.

thanks.

I was just curious as to if the mesh would allow more then usual dust into the case then a regular arcrylic window.

Thanks for the help
 
Depending on the mesh size, it does let in a lot more dust than acryllic (obviously). A trip to Home Depot can solve that however, just pick up the fineist mesh you can find and attatch it to the case mesh. I know multiple people who have done that with their Thermaltake Shark's.

I think this is the same case, but for a few dollars less and likely for less shipping

Yep, looks like it to me. For me, newegg is the only way to go. I order all my parts from them; plus they ship with FedEx. Xoxide.com ships with UPS, and UPS sucks a$$!!
