Dust

This is two weeks or two months of dust accumulation? Either way, that's a lot of dust in such a short time. My machine would take at least 3-4 months to get that dusty, and I use it all the time. Looks good though. :good: Air compressors are a lot better for this than a can of air.
It's hard watching all of the machines I've built for my friends be neglected and not maintained. They're all chock full of dust and my friends are too lazy to heed my advice of cleaning them out.

This was a little more than two months accumulation. I'm going to be getting rid of my current case, it's a dust magnate. I'm looking for one with filters, maybe that will reduce the amount of dust in the case.
I had this case before my current one and it was much worse. The model name was Wind Tunnel.

Having more intake fans than exhaust fans will makes it so that the case will naturally want to "exhale" air out of all the vents. This way you can make sure that air only enters through the fans and hopefully, through a filter. Keeping the case off of carpet and away from pets and smoke will also help a lot.
Also, not having your case fans cranked all the way up will help too. I think that's a big reason why my case stays relatively low on dust. If you just plug your fans in to the PSU it's going to have them cranked, but hooked up to a controller and dialed down they'll still move some air but with less resulting dust.

The case came with an intake filter in the front. But what you said gave me an idea. On Amazon I purchased 3 intake filters for the other three optional cooling intakes. That should do the trick nicely.
