Why is HAF such a dust magnet?

I was at my friends house and while in his room i noticed his HAF had a a butt load of dust gathering around where the big fans were and it looks like uncool and I was thinking about buying the Haf chasis for my next build other then the cosmos 1000 but when i saw all the dust on it... it was a huge turn off ._. comments?

A: His house must be fuckin nasty "No offense"

B: Doesnt matter if the fans dont come with filters. If you can take care of your PC dusting needs to be done.

D: The more fans you have without filters the more dust your PC will collect.

E: If your PC has alot of space inside side, gives the dust more places to sit.

F: The only place dust should collect is where fans cannot get to... on the fans themselves.


Do I own a HAF Yes.


A great way to clean your PC for the first time is to leave a vacuum at the exhaust(Without it touching the PC if the nozzle is metal) and dust towards the back. If you dust for the first time without the vacuum the PC will just pick it right back up over time.

That house is fucking nasty, look at the floor, dust everywhere.

Yeh, his floor is full of dust.

hmm that might be why but that made me do a 180 from getting the haf just couldnt stand dust because cleaning it would be such a pain in the behind but the haf does look pretty nice in person but still too much going on on the case anyways not much of a slick design i just heard great reviews and such so yeah anyways


i dont really know maybe its just his room but theyre house is pretty clean xD theyre asians soo yeah its clean in my standards and thats pretty low considering how much soda i have on my desk his room isnt THAT dusty maybe just that corner or so ._.

yeah his floor is wooden

i have like a all wood house and wood tends to get dustier before like carpet and tile and stuff and that can also effect it

thats false i did an experiment and i found out that my computer gets dustier in a carpted area


i do not care about dust in my case my mother vacuums almost daily and i clean my pc monthly

My house is partial wood/partial carpet. Presuming that you've varnished your wood, your carpet will pick up more dust no problem, my wood is always spotless (Could be that parents wipe with mop every day, but still :P), the carpet builds up static which attracts dust as well.

>Why is HAF such a dust magnet


- Its 3 230mm's man.... WITHOUT FILTERS

hmm my house is alll wood except for the hall way being carpet and the rooms


and i never seen 1 speck of dust in the wood part of my house o.o; we dont even clean it much >>; i dont know but yeah


i guess carpet will have more dust since its like.. not a flat surface and is like ... fluffy? xD anyways yeaaahhh xD thats what i think considering my dog likes to pee on the carpet and not on the wood o.o;

well shit

my house is dirty cause all my walls and floors are wooden and its dusty as fuck in here.... and fuck is dusty

Protip: Get some pantyhose from Walmart, and some 'Amazing Goop' adhesive while you're there. Rip the pantyhose to the appropriate size, and stretch it over the fan. Glue. Enjoy.

And have the pc on your desk.

Also: More movement in the room = more dust

my current pc is on the ground ._.


anyways panty hose and glue?! whats on your sick mind!!! loll jkjk

thats somewhat smart ._. but THEN AGIAN all teh dust would just be on the panty hose O:! soo its more icky

i have to empty my antec 300's dust filter every few days because it's always full of dust. this is a [b]BIG REASON[/b] why i [b]DIDN'T[/b] get the 900.

I own a HAF and yeah mine gets dusty, but mine has never gotten that dusty.. he must not even attempt to clean it at all? i leave my pc running usually all day and for 2 months with out cleaning it my pc hasn't looked that bad... He should try to actually clean it instead of letting it sit there for months with out cleaning.
