Which casing is dust proof?

[Ye_Rongtian]

Getting a new rig with the below spec.

i5 13600k + ASUS PRIME B660M-A WIFI D4
Samsung 980 M2 500GB
Seagate Ironwolf NAS 4TB
Corsair Veng 2x16gb
Seasonic Core GM-550

Can recommend me a casing which is dust proof? Or at least with removable dust filter?

 

[royfrosty]

Dust proof? Impossible. If dust can't get through. Your casing is likely to have bad airflow.

Removable dust filters. Mostly have good filters implementation for easy cleaning.

Casing wise, it is extremely personal. May be have you kiv what you like? Then from there we can narrow down some recommendations.

Like what you need, what you want in the case, what kind of design you like.

I don't have any preference really. As long as it is not too bulky (normal atx, not mid tower), prefer solid side panels instead of tempered glass.

No graphics card?

Maybe can look at Coarsair casing too. I am using an EOL Carbide 300Q. Side panel all covered, with front filter and comes with sound insulation layer. Bought it for the fully covered design and sound insulation performance.

Even without proper removable dust proof casing, you can consider install your own dust filter. Some are screwed on together with the fans or magnetic clip on style.​

Using the onboard graphic. Not for gaming.

Hmm. I'm a bit lost. No GPU, matx Mobo, but want a atx casing. Still want it to be small. The casing will look rather empty and waste of space.

May be others can help.

If no GPU can go for even a small casing. But the issue is the PSU cause that is a standard atx PSU which is rather quite big.

If a matx casing will fit, then can recommend one?

define lor but that one really less air

I started out with DIY pc, then switched to laptop because was fed up with the dust the case was collecting and having to blow out with compressed air regularly. Now it seems there are magnetic dust filter available?

Does it apply to the Air 100 as well? I can see the front panel is easy to remove, but does the top and bottom has removable dust filter?

 

[Phen8210]

@Ye_Rongtian for the top need to access from the inside, and for the bottom need to flip the case upside down to remove.

Fractal has good and accessible dust filter coverage, I think that is their forte. But define really airflow not good.

Even with no GPU build, I will still recommend 3 intake fans.
