We've all run into the issue of dust. All over the place, in the air, under the couch, on those old Commodores lying around your place, and of course inside your PC. You can buy filters which eliminate a lot of the dust that would take up residence in your chassis but have you ever thought about your fans and how much dust they can accumulate internally? That's right, the fans that your system depend upon for cooling are probably getting filled with dust that could potentially shorten their life.

A fan that has accumulated a decent amount of dust.

There's a space around the core of the fan where if you look closely you'll probably get a glimpse of some kind of circuitry. Dust get's in there too; and that can't be healthy. Acousti Products took the logical approach and put a seal around that space in their new Dustproof AcoustiFan. The seal not only keeps dust from getting in, it helps to keep sound from getting out.

The seal (top:highlighted red).

Above you can see a few pictures of the seal, it closes that gap nicely and didn't allow any dust into the fan. Mission accomplished.

We said there were a few extra items that we received to help dampen vibration, so head on over to the next page for those. If you don't want to see those, just skip to page 5 for our conclusion.
