Call me cheap, but can you use a coffee filter for a case dust filter?

Would that be before or after you used it to make coffee?

The filter material used for in vent hot air heating
filtering works great. Traps dust and keeps the
bunnies out.

Its so cheap when it gets dirty you simply throw it away.

About a buck eighty at Walmart for eight or 10 12"X4"
filters. Can be cut to any size with scissors and held
anywhere with duck or double sided sticky tape.

I'd recommend not doing it. I had an equally "fantastic" idea a while back.
Use a vacuum filter, little did I know these things are inches thick and any
airflow with those 80mm fans would be minimal.

A coffee filter might be too thin. So long as it catches dust though it's
doing its job.

AFAIK there's a place that sells a pack of them in various colours. Can't
remember where though, sorry. I hope someone can help you out.

I would think it's going to get block'd verry quickly and not let much (if
any) air through.
You cant stop 100% of the dust from getting into your system but if your
really paranoid then you could just go to watercool'd and seal up the case
fully from the ouside (leave 1 fan on the inside just for case circulation)

It wouldnt allow much airflow, a pantyhose might work better.

We know you wear them on daily basis, so just grab one of those ;-)

Cut one from some AC filter material available at local home improvement
stores. Works great.

Thats cool. Even better than my idea.

We've built a computer baninet at work... kind of hack at best, but it does
work well. We use airfilters as used in briggs and stratton lawn mowers...
Part number 491588. Cheap, has a decent flow rate and will catch all of the
typical dust and debris that would normally build up inside of your
computer. The filter is roughly 4.5" square, about .5 thick with a pleated
paper element doing the actual filtering.
