I dont have filters, yea theres a couple bugs at the bottom of the case, but no dust buildup that i've seen. But I also have the fan CFM ratings and air path routing set up so the dust can't settle- no matter where it is, it'll either be under pressure or under vacuum. The top fan is almost always at full speed (110ish CFM out), the rear is on low (30 CFM out), the side is on low (30 CFM in), front are both on low (30 CFM in each). So the case is pressurized, but the lack of an I/O plate and the grommetted holes in back help remove the pressurization so the dust gets carried out there. In fact, with the PSU oriented as it is, i took a flashlight and looked in the PSU, there was MAYBE a couple specs of dust on the heatsinks.
