Whats a good way to keep dust out of your case? I have heard of using panty hose to streach over your fans so dust dosent get in but i have never tried it. Im building a system now and would like to hear some of your ideas.

Yes, I've used pantyhose- it's reasonably easy to do, effective, and cheap.- on some of my builds I took and sandwiched it between two layer of Screen door mesh & attached to the backside of the front panel of the Enlight cases that I used- works like a champ- and it's easy to remove for cleaning

I've also heard of using used dryer sheets for the same job- don't know how that affects airflow

I can't spare any pantyhose, so I ordered some fan grilles and screens (foamy type). I made some blowholes, so the grilles also make the blowhole look better. I've also heard of people using cutouts of your standard air conditioner filter stuff. Also, you can decrease dust intake by having more positive airflow pressure than negative. Negative pressure means you'll be sucking in air/dust through any possible little crack in your case. You can also place an air/hepa filter near your computer, to cut down the dust in the room before it reaches your computer.

Pull the side off your case once a month and blow it out. Don't have to worry about dust.
