Re:
Antec P380 Case Review | 3dGameMan.com
Hello Rodney,
Several years back, I got so tired of reading repetitive chassis reviews,
that I decided to head out on my own -- out beyond the bleeding edge.
I had an aging aluminum Thermaltake chassis at that time, and
I hit upon the following combination:
Thermaltake A2309 Case Accessory - Newegg.com
Silverstone FF121 120mm Fan Grille and Filter Kit - Newegg.com
Keeping the dust filters clean is really EEE-ZEE:
turn the vacuum cleaner ON, quick pass over each 120mm filter,
turn the vacuum cleaner OFF -- no need to tilt the chassis
or even touch any of the rear-panel cabling.
I think you could help the industry at LOT by demonstrating
this filter solution, and highlighting the vendors who do
provide simple-to-access dust filters at the front panel.
p.s. On some really ol' Antec chassis, I even bolted
a 120mm fan to the outside of the left-side panel
-- right over a few super-hot 3.8GHz Pentium 4 model 670s --
and of course added that Silverstone FF121 to the fan.
STILL WORKS GREAT!
Thanks!
MRFS
