Some Wire Mesh/Filter/Fan Grill Testing...

[ScottAllyn]

Q: did you use the regular or the hexx version of the ACryan meshx?

It's the Hexx version.

I know all are wire mesh you've tested, but what do you think of this? Don't know if you know, but they're foam like. How restrictive are they compared to the wire ones? Great info

nice testing ~ thx

I tested one of these last night and have added it to the table in the first post - item #16. The one I tested is not *exactly* like the one in your link, but it's very similar and I suspect that all filters of this type will perform about the same. It blocked 25% of the air flow, which wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. It's definitely one of the quietest filters that I've tested - I couldn't hear any difference with the filter on or off when using the S-Flex.

I'm willing to bet that no animal fur is ever going to get through a filter like this and it'll likely keep out all but the finest dust, too. It'll probably start to get clogged up pretty quickly, tho - it'll need to be cleaned frequently so that it doesn't become even more restrictive.

I was thinking of buying Fan Grills and Filters and then had an idea while I was looking out of the Window. I saw the Window Screen and I thought I would use this instead of a Fan Filter.

Hi riccardo. I'd actually considered using window/patio screen when I started thinking about the meshes. The main deterrent for me was that I want a shiny silver color and those types of screens are usually dark gray or black. They also have a fairly open weave relative to most of the meshes that I've been looking at - good for airflow and larger debris (pet fur and large dust particles) but not as good for preventing the smaller dist particles from getting into the case. Still... I bet it's as good or better than many of the screens that come with the cases these days.

Hey that isn't bad at all, I guess I'll keep mine. Thanks for testing Scott.

: / ohh well, figured as much given the numbers

i assume #17 is close if not identical to the regular meshx then

i already liked the amount of dust it keeps out and knowing its not a complete cfm killer is an added bonus

I haven't seen the regular MeshX panels, but you're probably correct about it being the same as the MeshX Fanguard. Text on the A.C. Ryan website backs that up:

...Available in MeshxPanel™ for free-form modding or as Meshx™ Fanguards.
