Default Filters

I just bought a new pc and i dont want it to be all dusty and nasty in like a year so im thinking about buying some filters for my fans to catch all the dust and shiz.

Would the filters restrict the airflow too much
Anyone recommend any filters?

The only reason I see filters really restricting airflow is if you don't clean them

As for recomended ones, I don't know what all's out there. Just look for the best deal!

The filters i used to use would need a good clean in the sink every week or so, and if you leave them dusty, then like The_Other_One said, they restrict the airflow. When i bought mine, i bought the cheapest ones (and only ones) they had on www.ebuyer.com but thats for the UK.
