Hi, I have successfully installed a GTX 580 in my computer but I am concerned about the dust getting caught in the filters. I know that I need to clean the inside with compressed air, but what is the most effective way for cleaning the dust filters on the case? The case itself is a Corsair Carbide C70 which has a metal mesh dust filter. I am reluctant to waste a can of compressed air on just some dust filters so I was thinking rinse under some water and let it thoroughly dry before re-using? I don;t know how this will work because I know that metals can sort of corrode when they're wet but I don't know the exact consequence of doing this. Has anybody else done this with metal dust filters?

Thanks for reading
 
Solution
take the filters off and either wash them if there plastic, or use a paint brush to scrub them if there metal gauss.
just make sure there dry before use, if you do wash them
