    Hey guys,

    Getting sick and tired of my Antec 1100 letting in 1000 litres of dirt a year and making everything inside look generally like crap.

    Is there a case out there that has good dust infiltration inhibiters? I'm talking front fan filtering, rear fan filtering, all cracks and vents etc etc. The antec just has too many entrances to cover and no dust filtering at all on the side, top and rear mount fans.

    I have 3x 3.5" drives aswell, so some of these newer bayless cases are no good to me.

    What do people recommend? I like simple minimalist designs, limited RGB, but a wide case window would be nice to show of the 2080.

    Why not just add filters?

    I think the 2xfront fans vs the Big 200 and 120mm exhaust fans, plus some extra fan openings on both side panels just creates too much of a negative pressure and brings crap in.

    I've gone for a Define R6 blackout TG, will run the 2x140mm intake 1x140mm outtake stock setup to try and achieve positive pressure and see how we go.

    Define 6 has good filters yes, Phanteks, Corsair or Lian Li cases also great picks.
    Installing filters on your old PC case would be a pain, and see if you can generate overpressure with your fans so will keep the dust out as well.
