Antec 900 Dust

[dmcfc]

Recently I built my new gaming rig, and it is just 2 weeks old, and it already have some dust on it!
I want to hear methods, strategies of cleaning and things like that

I first thought about buying a dust filter for the intake fans, but I like the leds on the front of my antec 900 and I don't know if this or any other dust filter would cover it

Then I was thinking on just clean it every week(yeah, I like it clean, I like my 5850 and my x4 955, so I just want to take care of it)To clean it I was thinking about canned air, but I heard(not sure if it's true) that it can damage the motherboard

What do you guys think?what should I do to keep dust out of my case?Any suggestions of dust filters, or how to make one,or how to clean the computer, or what canned air should I use?

Any help is appreciated, mainly by someone that have a antec 300, or 900 that probably have the same problem

Thank you

1. Do not place the case on the floor. The closer to the floor the more dust will accumulate.

2. Clean the interior regularly with a can of compressed air. The cans of compressed air are safe to use.

I am not a big fan of filters because they restrict ventilation, airflow, and cooling.

When you use the compressed air, hold the fan blades so they don't freewheel.

Thank you for the answers, any recommendations of brands or specifications that the compressed air need to have? I was looking at this compressed air or this

I just buy the cans of compressed air that are available at Staples, Office Max, and Fry's. I try and get the 3 paks when they are on sale.
