Hi guys, I've just ordered a 690 II case because it's perfect for what I need and at a good price too. However, when it comes in, I want to do a slight modification. I've noticed that the side fans don't have a dust filter, yet the bottom does. I've heard that the bottom filter is removable.
What I'm asking is, is it possible to remove the bottom filter and perhaps tape it to the side vents to prevent dust from coming in? Is it big enough? What I'll probably do is block the bottom filters with something (except the PSU filter), I don't think it'll make that much of a difference in temperatures.
If not, is there any sort of material I could use to filter the side vents? What puzzles me is that it seems the case is supposed to have negative pressure since there's a power supply, GPU and 3 fans exhausting air. Unless of course you put 2 140mm fans on the side to create positive pressure, but you still need a dust filter for those 2.
