 Man … bought this high end mini itx case from Fractal, only to realize it has no filters and is a dust magnet. Sadly, magnet filters won’t stick so I had to tape some on both sides, but the way it’s designed you can’t put one on top and back is wide exposed. 

So much for thought design 🤦‍♂️ 
 You should put the PC high up on a shelf, above the table, that’s my method for avoiding dust 
 Bro I live in an earthquake country 
 So tape it to the shelf? 
 Yeah because that’s what I want in my room - a metal box taped to a shelf at a weird height 😆 
 Might as well slap a miner next to it 😄  
 Put a nice curtain over it and the job's done 
 What can I say, it's sucks to suck... 
 I really like thermaltakes designs on cases.  
 I have a Corsair under my desk that’s several years old but practically dust-free inside. I never vacuum it, hair clean the filters. 

Kind of surprised a brand that talks so much about design has forgotten this very basic aspect. Or … wait… I guess that’s not surprising 🤦‍♂️ 😆 
 They have good aesthetic design with no functional design. Thermaltake and Corsair both have great functional design. NZXT has great aesthetics also but terrible functionality imo.  
 I leaned the hard way :( will stick to the established players who know what they’re doing and been at it for a while. 
 those really small itx cases rarely have dust filters as they need all the cooling they can get 
 Yeah but not this one :(
