I had recently bought a CM HAF 912 cabinet and I wanted ask you guys if there is someplace where I can buy for dust filters for the openings on the cabinet. My cabinet gets full of dust every week. :(.
I live in Noida so if there is someplace in Delhi or Noida please let me know or some online place.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure if they are available in market, but you can use girl's stockings to make a dust filter yourself :)

But they won't harm the airflow in any way?

Dust filters WILL reduce air flow, no matter which filter you use. use the filters only on intake fans and not on exahust fans.

Ohk. So will see what to do about that.
Any other way to reduce dust from entering the cpu? (Can't seem to understand why there is so much dust in India :p)

Close all holes/cracks except the fan holes. Seal the fan holds where a fan is not mounted. Keep the pc away from window. Keep pc on a table rather than on floor. Keep the pc covered when not in use.

Stockings have least effect on airflow than any other material AND they are available in many colours to match your colour scheme. Plus, the hole size is adjustable depending on how much you stretch it.

The best is to use Airconditioner Filters as dust filters. Hitachi Koukin one works the best and one filter can make up to 6 dust filter for a PC.

Don't you think these are a little overpriced? Because I will have to buy like around 6 of these for my case then. :p.
Wish we had some more options in India. Outside dust filters are available for half the price or even less.

I went to Nehru Place today just to check out whether any such thing is available. No help whatsoever. Even SMC don't keep such things. Gonna make them myself now when i get the time.
