this but it seems like it limits ALOT of air flow anyone know what i can use better.
Lol, that looks really bad. Probably not a good idea. A simple way of preventing dust from settling is creating negative air pressure in the case, which means having more exhaust fans than intake fans.
There'll always be dust in the air. Instead of trying to block it, which usually don't work that well, let it pass through.

how would i go about and put fans infront of a case were the extra drive bays go? thanks much
Err... how many fans can the case hold? Setting fans in drive bays is tricky, depends on the specific case, and impossible for some. They're not meant for that purpose.
Collermaster Stackers usually use a 4-in-1 drive cage that accepts a 120mm fan. They are identical to the drive cage that comes with it. I'm guessing that buying 2 more and adding those to your empty 5-.25" bays will allow for the extra 2 fans. ;-)

could you link me to this drive cage? or w/e lol im still learning about building pc's
Instead of using those filters, replace those type of filters or plastic covers in front of the intake fan with pantyhose. You'll still need to clean some dust out every month, but it's still better than the retail filters and doesn't hinder airflow much.
You can have the world's fastest pipline out & in, but it's up to the hosting server as to how fast data is transmitted.
It took several tries for me to get their site up, and it actually froze Internet Exploder for 30 seconds for me.

T3 is faster then T1
Internet 2 Is faster then T3.

*also thanks for the pantyhose* commet might work

I had a bear of a time finding these cages in stock, too (for my old CM Stacker). The one's from coolerguys doesn't have the fancy front cover to match your case, but one reviewer says it fits his 830 perfectly.
As for filters, I'm of the school of thought of getting used to regularly cleaning out the case once a month or so.
Unless the computer is in a dirty environment, then I would definitely use filters, though.
*just noticed the 4-in-3 cages are also "out of stock" at coolerguys.
Well, was worth a try. ;-)
