Thought I posted this yesterday, but apparently it wasn't.  So much for all my pretty pictures, fancy uploads and diagrams.  So, in brief:
 
I see from their website that the Corsair 230T has 2 dust filters.  PSU (bottom) and front fascia.  I would like to know how difficult it would be to clean/replace the front dust filter.  I'm not at the machine  (currently some miles away) but it's been on my mind and I can't find information regarding this filter.  Corsair sells a PSU filter ($2.99) but does not sell a front filter.  This seems strange.
 
Any information on these filters, cleaning or replacing the front one, would be appreciated.

From what I gather from reviews, that case has a bottom psu filter that just slides out the back. Typical for a lot of cases. Might have to lift the 230t a little to get it out.

The front filter is glued in. You have to pop 3 clips on either side of front panel to remove it.   

Then just blow them out to clean.

This was the information I was looking to find. 
 
I knew about the slide out PSU filter, but was concerned if I had to replace the front fascia filter it would be quite difficult.  So, yea, blowing them out and doing my best not to rip them seems the way to go.
 
I wonder if you buy the $12.99 front fascia is the glued in filter included. Big%20Smile
 
Thanks bprat.
