I'm thinking of using one of these fan filter things in my micro-cab, to try to hide the exhaust hole. Anyone think it would block too much air? It seems like these filter-type grills are better suited for intake fans, but I'd really like it to work for the blow hole.

Thanks!

I think they would work. It would be worth a try for 1.95.

They will block air.. anything that covers the fan in any way blocks air..
Enough to cause a super huge difference? nah..
If your really worried, toss in 1 extra fan just to be sure..
And remember.. 2 exhaust for every 1 intake

My Lian Li computer case has a 120mm fan exhaust rear with one of those grilles. Let me just say that removing was the 1st thing I did.
Think about blowing into a screen vs not.
