    I used an aluminum screen window frame cut down to fit over the HAF 932 side panel. Then glued pieces of a long roll of magnet to it.
    It pops right off for cleaning. Screens in need of replacement now.
    You could paint the frame any color.

    something like this?
     
    https://www.amazon.com/St...D=TWHPDRXWBZ1XMVKTHTCH


    Yes, I like that as well.
    I Also like Nozler use of Magnets as well.
     
    I also use
    Silverstone Tek 140mm Ultra Fine Fan Filter with Magnet Cooling FF143B (Black) PSU Top also keeps thing from falling into the PSU
    Silverstone Tek 120mm Ultra Fine Fan Filter with Magnet Cooling FF123B (Black) Intake Side on my Fans
    I wash them and then recycle them between Fans to keep them clean.
    They last about 3-4 years on the Magnates. When this happens I just use them on top laying flat.
     
    Also DEMCiflex are not bad

    Thoughts, and for the price, looks like a good option? Let alone the labor spent.

     Nozler,
     
    Where did you get those super flat magnets, and stainless screen mesh?
     
    How about copper mesh?

    The magnet came on a roll like tape.I think it was Wally world.
     
    I didn't realize they already made the magnetic filters.
    But it's just as well I would have had to make it anyway for the custom fit.

    Copper + Aluminum Computer Case is a Bad Combination at best.

    DEMCiflex  custom filters
     
    With non-magnetic cases, there is a second magnetic strip "glued" to the case, the filter mag. then is held to the applied magnet
     
    Premium Ultra Thin 0.17mm PVC Case/Fan Dust Filter Material - 30cm x 29.5 cm -- (per 30cm unit ordered - various lengths are available)
     
    performance pcs ---> MDY-FF-PVC-M-30   Can not tell you how well this works, mine has not arrived yet
     
    Ways to hold filter:
     
    8mm Strong Neodymium Magnet N35 for DIY PC Case Mod (D8*2MM) (I'm going to check harbor freight, see if I can get these locally)
     
    3M™ Adhesive Flexible Magnet Tape (10mm)
