I haven't decided on either of these cases (CM N600, HAF 922 or CM 690 iii)
but what i noticed is that they all don't have at least one dust filter for one of the fan cooling mesh things (or whatever its called...)

my question is, can i get a filter from a different brand like (http://www.demcifilter.com/)
and install it onto the mesh on the outside of the case for the optional intake fans to be installed and used?

i heard that using intake fans without a dust filter is very risky for your computer.

It's not risky you just need to clean it out more often, Demci makes good filters and even has custom built fans for certain cases, I think they have custom designs for the HAF at least, you can ask them. They have prices for full filter sets and partials, they are also magnetic so they are easy to install.

I want to get the dust filter, so should I get the case with the dust filters to use on the case with a separate fan? Im going to get Nf-F12 fans for the side and bottom intake with another fan for the hard drives.
