Hello folks. I need to get some material that is good for collecting dust and still puts enough air through. So a fan filter :D
I have been looking around a bit. But I can't seem to find any places that sell these materials as a raw product.
I want something that is washable and durable.
I know lian li uses a material that almost looks like the net you have to keep the mosquitoes out. I'm not sure but it looks like some kind of nylon. If someone with a lian li chassis could check it out i would be appreciated.
Here is a picture:

Pantyhose brother, comes in many colors & is cheap. Use a hot glue gun to affix. easy to remove then & all you need is a dab more hot glue again. ;)

How does it go for airflow?
I brought a metal filter:

And it restricts a fair bit, i can hear the fan note changing and flow slowing when i have it installed. It does catch the dust pretty well...
Pantyhose better or worse?

Doesnt restrict much at all. I do notice the noise change a bit, but not much at all.

I need something more durable i think. I will be making a removable dust filter for rads. Like the one on the picture. I want to be able to take it out and clean it under water and then just put it back with a simple slide.
Otherwise pantyhose could be a option.

yea just ask your boyfriend if you can have his old hose. They work the best. And are a really good trade off for dust collection vs restriction of air flow.

Can any lian li owner check what material that is? Looks like metal or nylon. Cant figure it out though...

"No-See-Um" mosquito net. I paid $18 and change + shipping for 5 yards of 54" wide netting.
