Staubfilter Fractal Design Meshify C - Front

I had to super glue a series of metal washers on the case around the perimeter of where the filter attaches to the meshify and brace the mesh with some popsicle sticks. Without the washers and bracing the strong static pressure of my case intake fans caused the mesh to get pulled into the path of the blades causing a VERY annoying sound.It took a few weeks for the noise to appear and I went crazy trying to isolate the sound.

It filters dust, the one main thing its supposed to accomplish. The rest of the filter is kinda annoying.Pros:>Filters dust fairly well, considering its just ultra fine metal mesh.>Easy to cleanCons:>You'll need to use soap and water to clean (hand wash) and need a flat area to dry it. Or a large dish rack. You also need to account for dry time.>Filter fits fine on the area it magnetizes to, but it will rub on your fans.>Not rigid enough.I'm gonna elaborate on those last points, which is why this is a 3 star review. This filter will make it insanely hard to remove the front mesh off your Meshify C, which is already tedious, since the filter frame is just thick enough to remove all the extra space for you hand. Once you place the filter your going to want to make sure its sitting as close to perfect as possible on the outside of the fans. Its ultra fine metal mesh, which has the rigidity of thick cloth. It will get sucked into your fans. This is beyond annoying, and even a near perfect placement will still leave you with the filter getting sucked into the center of the fan. I've washed this thing 3 times in the 5-ish weeks I've had it. Each time its less and less rigid, and it really wasn't that rigid to begin with. So I have to adjust this PoS after I install it, with my PC on, just to make sure its not creating some horrid buzzing sound against my case fans.Overall, I would rather just have a finer metal mesh front panel to my case. This filter is superior to the foam one included in the case. The main points are: being to filter dust nearly to the same level, and you can actually clean it. I just feel like I created more problems for myself by using this, since its not really that necessary to have. I clean my PC every 7-10 days, and this only helps with high dust households.I'd only recommend this if your un-able to regularly clean your PC, or have a really dusty house. The front panel on the Meshify C will keep large particles out, include my cat's hair, so I'm going to say this is really just a personal choice.Note: the picture I have included was after a 10 day stretch. I decided I can push my cleaning schedule out since this filter work well enough for my house, even with my cats. I'm using 2 140mm Noctua fans as an intake here.
