Contemplating doing that for the front fan aswell as it wont look too messy but aside from doing the same but on the inside of the side panel i dont have any ideas yet lol, if you find anything useful let me know lol  . And as for ssd's for os's im kinda hoping to be able to get sommat like a 128gb one next year at a reasonable price, dont think it will be too long till they are aropund the same price as normal drives. Id thought they will end up alot cheaper than raptors aswell considering the jumps companies are making with flash memory. |
Thanks. If I'll find any useful information about the dust filters I'll surely let you know. 
And about the SSDs...patience, that's the secret word.

Hehehe...  That's funny. I had exactly the same thoughts of waiting and getting myself a new DX11 Card when they'll come out, but eventually I ended up with the GTX275 I bought about a month ago.

Lol, to be honest, if we are all realistic DX11 wont be properly or fully utilised for about 3 or 4 years lol. I mean DX10 is barely used to any reasonable extent and Crysis looks pretty whatever lol. And sommat like a GTX 295 for me will last years and years before i eventually get bored and decide i want sommat tghat looks differnt lol

You are damn right. The GTX295 will definitely be enough for you for at least 2 or 3 years (if not even more).
But even my GTX275 should last as a good Video Card for most games for at least 2 years, I think.

It really lacks 'space'. I can barely do any cable management with it, the air-flow is quite bad and...everytime I want to remove the HSF, in order to clean it, replace it or re-apply new TIM, I have to take off the whole damn mobo. |
that's only a matter of wire management. my gigabyte case too is only a mid tower case yet i managed to put everything inside clean and nice

Hi guys!
I can finally update you now that I finally got myelf a new CM HAF-932 case along with a new Scythe Mugen II cooler.
I've already installed all parts in the new case and I'm very satisfied.
BTW, I've made my own dust filters by making a frame from magnetic strips I've found at work and then I glued some dust filter sheet (I also found in my workplace junkyard... ) to it and you can see the amazing results in the pictures.
So...here's link to some pictures I took:

Cool :0, i wouldnt have thought youd need to filter on the top though as wont the fans just be blowing air out?? And if you havent put one in the front that really sucks in some dust lol :s, plus its awkward as hell to clean  . I think im gonna be cleaning mine abit and taking some pics for here later on today . But not too sure yet .
