well im loosing a fighting battle against my filters clogging up and becoming very brown/dirty. i have a thermaltake case that came with filters. its taking about a week for these too become clogged with brownish fine dust and fluff. i live facing a fairly busy road and around 1000m from a very Busy A road and a mile from very busy motorway/dualcarage way. even after blowing off with 20psi from my compressor the filters are still a very dirty brown. when fitted after cleaning they soon gather the fine dust/fluff again. i also notice a very fine dust on the fans blades and housing.
what can i clean my filters with ? i have though about using soap detergent (fairy liquid) and cold water with a good old nail brush (hand scrubbing brush) would this be ok ?. what other things could i use and how can i stop this finer dust entering the machine. can filters be cleaned or do you just replace them after a certain period of time. the worse filters are the front intake and the cpu side case intake these clog up so much its untrue.
