180mm fan filter

[sunnydurian]

Does anyone know where to buy a 180mm fan filter? I need to get a 180mm filter for the side panel of my Fractal Design Arc Midi. It has such a large opening and without a fan filter, I worry the dust can easily enter the case.

The largest fan filter I can find in the market is only 140mm. Currently I bought the Silverstone 140mm Fan Grille & Filter Kit Magnetic as temporary solution.

Ideally you could get this from the US

Thanks. But the max size for Arc side panel is 180mm.

Is there a way to mount it for the 180mm hole? I dont mind to get the 200mm as long as I can mount it.

I think an easier solution would be to remove the fan. The Arc has fantastic airflow as it is and doesn't need a side panel fan tbh

its magnetic so it should "stick" to the side panel, i couldnt find a 180mm filter with scew holes

Thanks. Most probably will go for the 200mm

I dont have a fan installed on the side panel, but I just want to prevent the dust enter to the case via the opening hole.

Oh, well in that case don't bother at all with a filter. Even though there's a sizeable vent in the side i can confirm near NO dust enters the case through the side

Thanks for the info. I think I will wait and see since I have installed an 140mm Silverstone filter at the side panel. Hopefully it will not be dusty because I will put it on the carpet floor.

I haven't turn on the new rig yet because I am still waiting for the Ivy Bridge launch on Monday. One day to go very excited now

There are round and square shapped magnetic fan filters , 200 mm not 180 mm but it should work imo !

It is virtually impossible to buy the Silverstone 180mm fan filter here in the UK.
