SilverStone Technology FF121 120mm Standard Fan Filter with Honeycomb Grille, black, SST-FF121

AMAZON HAS FIXED THIS PRICE !!!!! At one time the price was incorrectly marked as $29.99 and now it is $2.99 which is a good price for a good product. I left part of the old review here so that people that you must always watch the prices and that Amazon will fix a error if it is brought to their attention. They are a great company. OLD POST next 4 lines.* "I bought this from you for $2.50 and free S&H ($25.00 or more order). This is clearly a mis-print, check the suggested retail price from the maker. Fix the price and I will order more, I hope no one orders this item, thinking it is the correct price. Then I will gladly rewrite my review." *****IMPORTANT UPDATE : Amazon being a great company has corrected their price error. They have millions of items and I know mistakes happen but they fixed it and that is cool. The Silverstone 120mm Filter with Grill FF121B (Black) is a top quality product it is not metal but I have seen many grill/filters costing much more and I think these are better, low profile (approx.1/8") nice logo in center and honeycomb mesh grill looks great, filter is a thin mesh screen that is easy to clean with compressed air or water. With any filtering system you lose some air flow but without any, dust gathers on components and will cause the heat to rise enough to cause damage, loss of performance or system failure. So don't spend a lot of money building a nice computer only to overheat it get fans and filters, clean them often, and when gaming "Kill em All". Thanks Amazon and SilverStone for another 5 Star (*****) product. Joseph W. aka WaterRabbit, Cape Cod, MA , USA, Earth

Couldn't be happier. My case has a couple fan mounts on the side, and I wanted to deliver fresh air to my GPUs without clogging them with dust/hair. In comes Silverstone to the rescue with this magnificent piece of hardware.It needed 3 things to make me happy:1) Be easy to remove and clean.It's MAGNETIC, so it just pulls off, a quick couple spurts with an airduster, or some time under the faucet if it's really dirty and you can toss this mother back on and it goes back to being awesome.2) Needed to stop dustThis thing has a finer mesh than most pantyhose, let alone the stuff that comes with most computer cases. Every couple days I stop to marvel just how much dust this thing keeps my computer's guts safe from. If this thing was a bouncer at a classy club, that club would go out of business, because (you guessed it) nothing is getting in.3) Be cheap.Ok, so it could be cheaper, but honestly? $10 is not that bad, and it saves me from the struggle of tearing apart my computer once a month and going through seventeen million airdusters trying to clean it out. In fact, if you do the math, I'm saving myself nearly 10 cleanings a year, each one taking at least an hour, so that's ten hours saved. Let's use the valuation of my time that my crappy fast food job uses ($8.25 per hour) and what do you know, this thing will save me $82.50 a year in time, sounds like a steal at $10 now, doesn't it?Unless your case is made entirely of plastic and you keep it in an airtight, heavily filtered environment, you NEED this filter, so stop reading, scroll back up, and click "Buy," you won't regret it.

This is as basic as you would expect. A fairly flimsy piece of plastic with mesh attached. However, it works and it works well. The mesh is of a good quality and compared to other filters I have seen and used, this allows a good amount of air in while removing a good amount of dust. This is where the balance lies. A fan filter will always slow and limit air intake but at the same time it will keep a certain amount of dust out of your system. Air flow will always be limited and dust will always get through but you have to decide what is more important.For me and the gaming machines I build, this was effective at the balance of airflow to dust capture ratio. If you clean this filter every so often then it will do as it is intended and keep the air flowing and limit the dust going in. I currently do not use the filter as my case has good and removable filters installed with it, which brings me to what I dislike about this. It does a good job when you're case doesn't come with filters or comes with poor filters but it is rather difficult to remove for a good cleaning. You would have to unscrew the filter each time if you wanted to thoroughly clean it. I think if this magnetically attached to the metal screws holding the fan, this would be an easy five star filter that I could easily recommend, but it is not.For me, my current case has good filters built in that are easily removable so I don't have a need for this anymore. If you have an older case and a lot of dust then this is still an easy recommendation. You can always just vacuum the filter off when it gets congested and that will generally be good enough. If you need protection from dust, the price is reasonable and I'd recommend these as a good option.

While originally I purchased this product for its effectiveness and need, I found the customer service to be exceptional in providing quality support for a problem I ran into, with its dimensions and the space I needed it for. Overall, I appreciated their attentiveness and can recommend them for their product quality and customer support.
