Customer Reviews

I installed one of these filters on the third intake fan on my Antec 300 case. It's kind of a pain to get into and clean - I was hoping that I could mount it on the outside of my case, but the fan filter doesn't fit. This is the case's failing, not the filter's.
The filter itself is simple. It's a plastic rim with a hex-pattern plastic guard. The filter mesh itself is fairly effective at preventing dust from getting in, though I've found that it doesn't prevent tiny dust particles from getting in. It does stop visible dust, dust bunnies, hair, what have you, etc, so I'm not worried about my fans getting covered in grime.
Also, it came with some nice black screws to replace my stripped out silver ones.
In short, I still have to clean out my case, but much less frequently. I'm satisfied with this filter, and would buy it again, provided it remains cheap.
Edit:
I noticed that the amazon picture kind of makes it look like there's actually a white fabric filter in the grill. Not so, although that would be overkill.

I noticed a significant decrease in airflow using this Silverstone filter with my Silverstone case fan. While this is normal, the decrease was enough that I couldn't feel any air from the fan at all. This was especially noticeable in comparison to cheap aluminum messes and foam filters. This filter would probably be great for a high-powered, loud fan, but for quiet fans that rely on things like more blades rather than more power to increase airflow, this filter doesn't seem to be worth the cost in airflow. The mesh is simply too fine. I removed it to see what the effect of the hexagonal design over the mesh was (the description claim it "increases airflow focus"), but it honestly felt like it was cutting airflow more than anything.
