    Damn thats pretty dusty hope your going to clean it up with a good vacum.....personally I would cover all side inlets up or buy some filters. Dust build up like that will cause iot to heat up big time.

    OT, Bold Eagle would a filter cut from foam for an air conditioner work or is there something you buy?

    I use ladies stockings on my old PC but it seems like you can use filter material from AC's:

    but they are fairly cheap as well:

    Just make sure you remove the fans....then firmly stick the filter medium on (I used packing tape) to make sure it wont get sucked in and then you can vacuum the outside of your case every 2-3 months.
