Holes in the P160

[Luney]

Anyone that's owned an Antec P160 case, or has had a good look at one knows about the holes that go all around the front bezel of the thing. Before I got it, I heard that those holes let in all sorts of dust and other crap. So I taped them off with electrical tape.

It's been an okay solution, a pain to put in, and I have to replace the tape every time I open the case up to clean or upgrade. Is there some sort of compound I can use to plug these holes up permanently? Preferably something I can get in black.

tape would block airflow.

might try foam. as it would aid in filtration.

and you could cut it any way you want to make it fit.

Those holes are for airflow to keep your computer cool. I wouldn't recommend plugging them up. Go get some dust filters at your nearest computer store and put them behind your intake fans and that will reduce dust by a wide margin (unless you already have filters).
