What gaming cases would be good if you smoked while playing.... Good dust filters, etc....

Any suggestions besides quitting smoking would suffice - lol.....

anything with dust filters is good.

Cooler master storm stryker/trooper has dust filters in all spots.

Most of the higher end corsair cases have filters as well...

Btw, just smoke your cig outside, its not like it takes more then 5 minutes.

Also, if your smoking more then one cig an hour that's just plain bad ( not my business, but the truth)


When i used to smoke I NEVER smoked in my house, let alone my precious computer parts. :)

Dust is one thing... But...
All that nasty ash and carcinogens all over a mobo/graphics card/cpu?

No thanks.

I understand your reasoning - but we both smoke in the house (Bad I know but we will keep doing it) - been smoking around a pentium 4 3.0ghz for 9 years now - just use the dusters once every 6 months - still running with an old standard Dell case with 1 fan.... I guess what I am asking - when I upgrade my computer - with more vent. will I just need to blow it out every month instead of every 6 months or should I go with a completely filtered case and change filters every couple days..... I know people will say I am compromising my hardware but I have not had anything fail on me besides a ethernet port...

Sorry it took me a while to reply.

I know you'll keep doing it, most would!

Hell thats what we do.. things people tell us not to!

Anyways, you should be fine.

You might have to clean it out more often like every 1-3 months depending on dust build up.

just take a gander inside your case every couple weeks and check if its nasty in there or not, if it is then clean it up.

In my experience with a lot of dust/ash it might be best to take it apart and put it back together after its been dusted and cleaned up.

Whatever the decision is all that matters is you keep it up with the case.


Compressed air cans will help you!

Also keeping your surroundings dust free, not just the computer/computer area will help a ton.
