12cm Silver Steel Mesh Filter / Grill Combo for 12cm Case Fan
This very special product. First, it is a thin fan grill with a domed shape. It allows you to mount it between a case fan and the case. As a result its surface is on the same level as the surrounding area. Coupled with it's black color, the grill is kind of "hidden." It has the look of the mesh grills often seen on car and house speakers.
The uniform mesh with high hole surface area allows maximum airflow with minimum noise increase. This fan grill looks more "stuffed" than a traditional fan grill, but the hole to surface ratio is very high.
Second, these screens provide acceptable filtering, especially large particles and dusts often found in households and offices. The steel structure makes it very easy to clean and remove dusts off the filter.
Third, the small holes on the screen makes it a perfect design for blowholes on the top of a case. It does not allow most small, falling items such as screws to pass through by accident. It may even hold some drops of water by the surface tension. In comparison, traditional fan grills have this problem with their much larger gaps between grills.
Specifications: Currently also available for 8 cm case-fan mounts. It should fit 12 cm case fans. The dome thickness is 1/8 inch or about 3mm. The diameter is slightly smaller than most blowholes designed for 12 cm case fans. Hard steel material with a domed surface. It's very hard to bent the surface. Light weight.
Installation: For case fans, it should be mounted between the fan and the case. You have to disassemble the case fan if the fan is already mounted on your case.
