First of all can anyone speak to the quality of the mesh front panel included on the black prodigy? I have worked with the white model before but that have a different style intake.
Assuming that the front panel filter isn't completely effective in blocking dust (which I expect), what have people tried doing? I was thinking of getting the white model and completely blocking all front intake slits, and then adding a 120/140mm filtered intake on the bottom where the HDD cage is. I feel like this could help with both noise and dust. Losing the HDD cage doesn't matter to me I only have 2 SSD's and 1 3.5" drive. I will easily be able to figure out an alternative solution for them. I already need to do some cutting to allow for my longer than supported PSU, why not go crazy. I would also add a filter to the GPU intake on the side panel.
DEMCiflex magnetic filters? anybody tried these?
