I find them clogged and choking in under a few months and the owners a little upset. Be sure you know what you are in for. It looks like this is for gaming so heat buildup due to the lower air volume is almost a sure bet. It would be a shame you invest in dust filters then have to toss them.
Today's cables are usually small such as SATA so the old issue of air blockage is rare today. I have to think you are thinking of those old wide IDE cables.

Hi guys,
I'm building a custom pc with a budget of $600. I've picked out the parts but if there's a better part, please advise me on it. Below are the details:
CPU: Core i5-4570
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87-D3HP
Video Card: Gigabyte GF GTX650 OC 1GB DDR5
Memory: Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600 (2x4gb)
Optical Drive: Lite-On 24xSATA
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Power Supply: Cooler Master GX-550W
Case: Cooler Master K280 - I'm choosing this case as it's a budget case with a usb 3.0 port at the front. I would love to hear about any suggestions for a case that has 2 usb3.0 ports in front, possibly a window, dust filters, and good cable management for good air flow. I know it's crazy but anyone has an idea for such a case?
This pc will be used mostly for gaming, MS Office and web browsing. Also can anyone recommend if I should be using Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 Ultimate for this build. Oh and I'm a noob so I don't do any overclocking. Thanks in advance
