Case Fan Dust Filters

can you not go to a fabric store and test a few other materials? Surely any tight fabric that allows air flow will do. Start with some Calico as that is pretty cheap.

wantitall is a rip off. Don't know why people even bother looking there.

I had a similar thread:

See the link to Sondor in there. They should have all types of the fan filter material available, probably at a fraction of the cost.

Yes, wantitall is ridiculous, but that's what google turned up.

Did you buy from Sondor? The best options seem to be:

Nope, not yet.
Probably go with the first one. Looks like just different material, the last one being waterproof.
Pick one which is fairly open. A filter is going to cut your airflow a bit, so the more open it is the better of both worlds you will get.
 
Don't recall seeing those filters locally. You see, the thing doesn't light up so no distributor/reseller will have it here. :D Just kidding.

I first saw those on performance-pcs.com. I sometimes find overseas stores like them and frozencpu.com wind up giving better service than trying to find this stuff locally.
 
I ordered from them some time back. They use USPS, so check with them when ordering. performance-pcs.com do simple USPS and only cost me something under $5 recently for thermal paste tubes. I think that's the base for anything going into the small padded envelope. Have a look at the checkout of each and they'll give you a price.

I like to visit them sometimes and shove stuff into the shopping basket. Then I leave empty handed. Nice for wishlists. :) Doing that right now for some Scythe fans, radiator shroud, etc.

Yeah I would definitely try Sondor. I bough some other closed cell expanded rubber from them a few weeks back. Really cheap.

Yeah..

And when they did I told them I do a bit of cross dressing over the weekend. They laughed and I went on my way.

But seriously, stockings work wonders if you on a tight budget. Even free if you can get from someone, just make sure you wash it a few times :p
