PC Air Intake

Description

This pipe has some advantages over a simple hole in the case that sucks in fresh air. A dust filter can be installed under the front cover, which will protect the PC's circuitry from dust, hair and other crap. It can be easily replaced which makes maintenance a lot easier. Without a filter at the intakes the inside would be covered in dust after a few weeks, which would be bad for the cooling fans and the PCBs. You should add a dust filter to every intake fan in your case.
