Some Cars/motorbikes use a very light 'sponge foam' material in carburettor/air intakes - about ¼ to ½" thick, that is occasionally sprayed with a very light oil - WD40 etc. Just enough to make the outer surface slightly sticky to trap particles, but if your problem is cooking vapours they'll probably do it for you
I use some of that in a light - fruit bag type mesh taped over the intake holes It allows air to be sucked through it without too much loss of flow, and you can see how dirty it is getting, and just wash it in soapy water, dry thoroughly very thoroughly redo the spray and tape back on the PC Ain't pretty, but does the job. You could fit it in a prettier container, but that will reduce the airflow, or box in the PC and retain heat after switching the system off JimB P.S. Nastier than kitchen greasy fug is metallic particle loaded 'office' air where the air-con is blasting the PC with magnetic, conducting dust from wearing fans. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kylde" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2005 1:03 AM Subject: fans/cooling > what could I use as a filter medium for my case fans that's readily > available as opposed to computer-specific materials?
