Need Help Picking Dust Filters For Fans

I have a NZXT Source 210 S210-001 Black “Aluminum Brush / Plastic” ATX Mid Tower Computer Case which can be seen here:

Question 1: This computer didn't come with dust filters so I'm looking into getting some of those silverstone magnetized filters for easy removal/installation. Before doing this I realized that the fan/filter area is raised or "punched out" just a little bit so a totally flat filter might not lay flush on it. I read that some of those filters do have trouble with fan areas that are raised. Any suggestions?

Question 2: I'm only using the one fan that came with this computer so far. Do I need filters for the two top filter areas? What about the PSU in the back or do these fans run so low that they're not really a problem?

Really appreciate it, thanks guys.

Hi :) 

I always recommend people just buy some household cooker filter material...it comes in a big sheet which is very cheap and you just cut as many pieces as you wish...

All the best Brett :)

Brett, sounds awesome! How do you secure the cutout of the screens onto the case so you're not getting leaks? I suppose I could just cut down pieces of duct tape and that would be pretty air tight? Do you know what that household cooker filter is called? Can I buy it at the hardware store? Thank you.
