My case comes with stock fans that both have dust filters. Will I need to purchase dust filters for these two fans as well?

They don't come with filters but you should be able to use the ones in your case

I don't know for sure but believe it has no filter. Besides that, this fan is a case of form over function, so my advice would be to spend your money on something else

Hi J.Carrol, the side fans are 120mm. There are two fans locations, so you can put 2 120mm fans. Since they are not filtered, I would suggest using them as exhaust fans or you will pull dust into the system. If you get a filter that covers the area, then use the fans as an intake. The case comes as a negative pressure setup. I changed my case to a positive pressure setup. I also had custom filters made and now use the top 200mm fan as an intake and everything exhaust out the rear now. The case is great, however, I never like the fans on the side. I replaced my side window. Here is a video I did showing that in case you ever get interested. I personally think it looks better without the side fans. The system is much much quieter now also. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNVp0_7dy4Y

I did not need a filter for my fan. I used it to remove Radon in my basement. A filter could be added by running the 4'' fan into a 4'' register box and using a register filter.Hope this helps.

Yes it comes with the stock fan and the thermal paste is already on the cooler so you don't need any thermal paste.

These are not filtered on the sides but there are perferated holes. I have installed 2 fans (120M) on 1 side. It is a monster of a case with many options for airflow. I have had mine for 3 months now, and I am very satisfied with it. I have 7 total fans installed, and honestly, even with the video card (dual fan) and the Processor Cooler (dual fan) it is not noisy at all!! Great Case! Highly recommended.

No, it comes with a stock fan, but if you're going to overclock it is recommended to buy an after market cooler.

they will fit but if you are trying to increase your cooling performance the cooler master blade master fans would work better.

These might cause the fan to increase the noise if running at full speed, but this is expected from any filter. I would only install them on intake fans, they really catch a lot of dust.

It is for the third fan. It removes completely. If you remove the screen filter from the bottom, you will notice that it is longer than just two fans, it would appear to be filtering air passing through solid plastic. It is not. There are two 120mm fans that are optional as well as two 80mm exhaust fans for the rear, again optional. I have built several of these HTPC cases and unless you max out your hard drives like I did, you won't need the optional fans. the optional fans are not really needed, but this positive air pressure thing that Silverstone's brochure talks about had me interested seeing the dust bowl scenario I found using the Antec 900 Gaming Enclosure. There was so much dust/dirt inside. Wanted to make sure it worked. It really, really works. Louder than I wanted, but I am more concerned about excessive heat w 5 x 2TB hard drives & 4 x1TB . I hope this answers your question.

It does not... Lots of air input grilles but you will want filters for all the grilles that have either no fans or input fans. Highly recommend the "Silverstone Tek - Ultra Fine" filters... They come in black or white and you will need a combination of 120mm and 140mm filters... Make sure you have enough computer case fan screws... Got the screws from the vendor Koolertek on Amazon... The filters are direct from Amazon.

Not at all. I put one in it myself. The whisper fans are the same size and shape as the stock fan.

No filters: I bought a kit of magnetic filters for this case (I no longer remember the kit # or who makes it).

Good MorningIf you are going to use the HEPA filters it is not necessary to use regular filters, only one is usedHEPA is an air cleaner collects dust and other allergens. the regular filters are only air cleanersyour choice have a nice day.

Just use the provided fan and I'd you dislike it then you should get a new one. I'm currently using the stock fan.
