Corsair Graphite 600TM Side panel dust filter

I have a question regarding the Corsair Graphite 600TM. As I understand there are no dust filters for the side mesh. Which is unfortunate since I'd like to use the side panels with fans for my new computer that I'm building.

If I were to buy 4 120 mm fans for the Corsair Graphite 600TM, would it be possible to install these dust filters? So the mesh would come first, the the filters, then the fans.

I don't think this is going to work, but since we haven't tested this, I could be wrong. Fan dust filters will overlap with each other when you mount them to the grill. The grill fan screw spacing is really close to each other and typically fan filters would have that extra space around the screw holes, making it a little wider than the actual 120mm spec of the fan. You are welcome to try it but I have a feeling that you may need to trip them down on the side to make them fit.

It should be working because the screw holes are placed where the fan got its holes and the dust filter is lining inside of the fan blow area.

Therefor I don't see any problems with this and you, Saliciouscrumbs, should be able to use the filters w/o problems.
If there are any problems, please note here what happened with the installation and provide some pictures, if capable.

That'd be great if it does. Post some pics if it works, as I am interested to see them. Some customers are actually wondering if this is possible.

Sorry, but I'm unfortunately not gonna be able to post pictures because I went with the Corsair Obsisidan 550D instead. After posting here I came to the conclusion that it would have been a nightmare to clean the dust filters on the Graphite 600TM, especially if the the fans were to be screwed onto the sidepanel. The Obsidian's dust filter has to be infinitely easier to clean since they are magnetic.

The Obsidian was cheaper as well

I have to agree.. magnetic filter is always convenient.

Glad to hear that you have found the right case for you
