it wont hurt anything unless you cram and compress dust bunnies in your AGP/PCI slots or whatever and try to put your card back into it, but that never happens... but just wrap the fan with the stuff and then screw it on and it will filter all dust, then just throw it away and then use another one

ive bought fan filters before... it really just hinders airflow, i probably blocked 3/4 of the airflow with it so i just took it off.
your system will run much cooler and quieter without it, i suggest cleaning your case with some canned air once every year or two.
