Hello guys! For those who already have this product, I recently got a Corsair Graphite Series 600t white e. (New) I already installed the components, but I just noticed that there's a strange white dust stuck to the insides between the two doors to the sides and the insides (that is, behind the borders) and in the space between the front fan and the front door that can be opened to clean that fan. Is that normal or I got something weird in this product?

Thanks in advance!

is this a dust that wipes off or does it look like paint over spray? If the case is metal, it was probably powder coated, could be residual from that, but normally things should be blown off with air or dipped in cleaners after powder coating, but maybe they cut corners. lol.

its crack cocaine. they used it to smuggle across the border... (that was sarcasm)

it sounds like paint overspray to me. sometimes it looks like dust. if it doesnt wipe off this is what i would assume it is.

if it does wipe off then perhaps it is just residue from one of the processes.

i dont think its an issue though. take a photo or two and post them if you want any sort of more detailed answer.

Thanks! And yeah my family here was kidding about it being some kind of drug all day lol.

Yup, it's just dust that wipes out very easily, and it's like a REALLY soft talcum powder. It even leaves your skin very soft (yeah that sounds funny but it's true... better than certain beauty products!). I was concerned that there was something wrong with the painting, but from your answers I assume there's no problem with it :) 

Anyway, I may post a couple of pictures later when my bro gives me my camera back xD, just a quick question: Is there any chance that this dust could damage any of the components if it is blown inside and around the case by the fans?

Thanks guys!

well.. if it was me i'd probably remove the components and completely wipe down the case before i started it up to be sure it didnt get into anything but thats up to you.
