i think he means the fan pressure.

Thefilter may be hampering the airflow. Generally, the more visibly transparent the filter is, the less dust will be trapped and more air flowed...more visibly opaque, alot of dust trapped but no airflow, and constant cleaning.

**emosun** · 04-21-2009, 09:28 PM

Just clean your house and you'll never have dust. lol

No but really I just opt for no filters and clean out the dust every now and then , it's not to hard if you use a shop compressor or caned air.

CLAY_JoE · 04-22-2009, 06:22 AM

Yea I may take it out tonight then, its a really dense dust filter.

I just run out of compressed air actually, had like 16 cans, lol, the guy on ebay I got them off is no longer there, wheres the next best/cheapest alternative? (in UK).

If anyone says PC World I'll shoot them

HawMan · 04-22-2009, 10:21 AM

I dont live in the UK but i know 5 pounds is a lot, how big is the can?

CLAY_JoE · 04-22-2009, 03:38 PM

Yea that is pricey, I got 4 x standard size cans for £8

HawMan · 04-23-2009, 03:06 AM

Its 400ml cans.

Trade price of £10 each.

**Jtsou** · 04-23-2009, 06:36 AM

Hmm we get 400ml cans for about $4 here.

**grimx133** · 04-23-2009, 02:54 PM

If I go to Staples or FS or somesuch it's at least 10 bucks a can, order from ncix and get 16oz./450g. cans for about 5 bucks. Ordered 4 cans when I was ordering some other stuff last week.

Mcninjaguy · 04-23-2009, 02:56 PM

I've been getting my cans for $6 per 315ml can

**emosun** · 04-23-2009, 06:45 PM

Seems weird you should pay at all considering it's canned air. lol. It's the result of "I bet I can get people to buy air".

Mcninjaguy · 04-23-2009, 07:01 PM

I think its canned nitrogen as its cold when used or something

its also fatal if you inhale the air directly up your noise or mouth

**emosun** · 04-23-2009, 07:08 PM

Oh well thats good. lol

Mcninjaguy · 04-23-2009, 08:31 PM

read the warning label! its true

**grimx133** · 04-23-2009, 10:51 PM

You can tell us...........who did you test it on?

Mcninjaguy · 04-23-2009, 10:54 PM

you mean apart from myself clearly being a ninja (look at name I'm an Irish Ninja!) that has no morals but thats done with training.......

**grimx133** · 04-24-2009, 02:50 AM

What, the no morals, or the irish part? Actually, I've got some cousins who are finn/irish, interesting combination.

Starting to think about going to canadian tire one of these years and picking up a compressor..............

Mcninjaguy · 04-24-2009, 10:40 AM

I dunno I was tired last night....

Well, I bought a new case off a mate at work for $20 check the photos for my mad PC mods

LOL as you can see I bought another PCI cooler, and fit it into the slot above my HDD, which is sitting in the floppy rack. Dropped it about 6C.
I had to cut a hole in the side of my case so that I could have that 80mm fan on the side still work thanks to the bloody noctua

Its caused so many ripped shirts haha
I also added another 120mm fan to the other side of my Noctua, slams the air through so quick its good.

**emosun** · 04-25-2009, 12:26 AM

Lol , reminds me of my case , same company probably , diablotek.

Did you put a pci fan in the 3.5 drive bay blowing outward?
