BlackCat Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Has anyone found a way to put dust filter on the SUPERMICRO CSE-M35T-1B? I was thinking I could add one to the back of the plastic fan enclosure, but not sure that any would fit. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment

opentoe Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I would just goto home depot and get some dust filters and make your own. They are cheap as heck too. Even some of that material on the forced hot air heater filters would work good. Traps just about everything and lets all the air through. I haven't setup my complete server yet but I do plan on using some kind of filters on my 5in3's cages. Quote Link to comment

I had looked for it before but just got the run around at the store. Quote Link to comment
Rajahal Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 The best thing you can do to keep dust out of your server is to keep it off the floor. Getting it even one or two feet off the ground will mitigate dust build up dramatically. I generally only clean out my server every 6 months or so, and I've got no dust filters at all.

Thanks for the advice. It is up off the floor on the coffee table/tv stand, but I'm still getting quit a bit of dust. I have to clean the filters I have in the front and back of the case about every two weeks. Quote Link to comment

If you can find them or your particular home depot doesn't have them buy the best large furnace filter you can buy then use that material inside the filter. Hey, it's all suppose to do one thing. Block dust from going through it. Quote Link to comment
