Should I get dust filters?

[kaywalker]

I have the HAF 922 the front fan which is intake comes with dust filters but I'm gonna have a couple more intake fans. Are there any dust filters that lower dust intake but don't lower my air flow too much? If so does anyone have a link to a well made on?

The answer to your first question is no. Dust filters, perforated mesh, and fan grills all restrict airflow. I do not use dust filters in my HAF 932. Instead, I prefer to use cans of compressed air to blow out any dust that accumulates. It's very easy to do.

Yep, everything u put in front of the fans will restrict airflow. Its a question of how much it matters to u.
Some guys are insane with dust, while others go crazy on the airflow. I agree with the airflow crazy ppl. Dust can be cleaned easily, but in some situations (like if you have carpets or hairy dogs around) putting a filter is a better idea. Just remember to balance your intake and your exhaust (not because of dust, but to cool the system effectively).
