I'm waiting on my Antec Super Lanboy to come in and was thinking about putting a filter in front of the intake fan to help keep dust out.

Is it actually worthwhile to do so. And if so, where would I get a filter.

FYI-The Super Lanboy has a 120mm fan in front for intake and a 120mm fan in back for exhaust.

I live in west texas... if no one has ever seen a west texas dust storm, allow me to link you to some pictures taken just a while back in 2003.

I bought one at Circuit City...the filter wasn't very fine, though--not sure if it will keep out the dust from those storms...I used it to keep out cat hair. To be honest, I've never seen a filter that could ehh... handle that.

Maxtor disgraces the six letters that make Matrox.
