PC Case Magnetic Dust Filter in 304 Stainless Steel (AISI 304 (1.4301)) is used for catching dust at the fan intakes of desktop PCs and industrial computers with a stiff stainless mesh held on by a magnetic frame. The alloy gives good general corrosion resistance in atmosphere and fresh water and is essentially non-magnetic (annealed), with a practical service limit of approx. +450 °C continuous.

Where 304 Stainless Steel PC Case Magnetic Dust Filter Is Used
- PC case makers: front, top and bottom intake filters.
- Gaming & workstation builders: upgrade filters that keep GPUs and radiators clean.
- Server & network racks: intake panels in dusty offices and closets.
- Industrial PCs & kiosks: filtered vents in workshops and public spaces.
Ordering PC Case Magnetic Dust Filter in 304 Stainless Steel
- Mesh count: 60-mesh for strong airflow; 100-mesh for dusty rooms or pet hair.
- Frame & magnet: A flexible magnetic strip frame snaps to steel panels; specify outer size to the fan grid.
- Airflow trade-off: Finer meshes raise intake restriction; pair them with high static-pressure fans.
Mistakes to Avoid with PC Case Magnetic Dust Filter
- Fitting very fine mesh on low-pressure fans, which raises temperatures.
- Leaving unfiltered gaps around the frame so dust bypasses the filter.
