NOOOOOOOOO! Don't do this. I tried, and found out that with the main air inlets being 'clogged' (with filters) the air would seek alternative routes. There's incredibly many small slits everywhere, and after I covered those, too, I found the air to be sucked through my optical & floppy drives. And although the drives would filter an astonishing amount of dust, it was not what I had in mind when I started. Paul (was it Paul?) made an important statement: maintain a positive air pressure in the case. That's my (current, and working) approach: have a set of fans gather their air through a filter and blow it into the housing. There's a few hints and tips I'd gladly pass on if you're interested; however, given the work involved, water cooling might be considered as well. cu, Schnobs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
