Recommend me a case for use in dusty environment!

[Doward]

Front 120mm fan on the MIL's system is locked solid. Easily one of the dustiest computers I've had the (dis)pleasure of cleaning.

I'd like to replace her case (full ATX) with something with good dust filters on the intake side of the case.

Toss me some ideas, and thanks!

Think I just sold myself on it Unless someone's got something better, that's dead simple for her to pull the entire fan / mesh filter assembly and blow it out.

Twin 140mm fans up front, a single 120mm exhausting for positive pressure, and I think this would be a vast reduction in dust in her case!

There are tons of fan filters that you can add to normal cases with lightweight magnets.

That makes them easy to remove and clean.

Remember: Your MIL is /really/ unlikely to actually care enough to want to clean the fan filters, ever.

Nah, she's not that bad. As long as it's easy to do, she'll do it. She won't pull apart a snap front or pull the sides. No screws allowed, lol.

Granted, now I'm looking @ the Fractal Define R5, as the bottom filter will slide forward out the front, rather than the R4's out the back.

Anyone here have an R5, and can comment on the filter media used on the front/bottom? From the videos I've seen, it looks like the R4 may have finer filtration mesh....
