most cases come with these also if your case has positive airflow meaning more intake then exhaust you won't get much dust

While this is true, this is for more lower tier cases. :P

Do you think I should invest in something like this? My case has a mesh "Dust Filter" so it is suppose to limit the dust.

Depends on the type of case to be honest. If your case has fans that don't have filters then a few might help. It's fine mesh so it don't inhibit airflow.

You install them prior to installing your fan.

Fan > Screen > Case.

You just install the screen between the fan and case. Since it wasn't stated, I wouldn't think the case matters. Just be sure to get the same size filter as your fan.

What truly matters is that you make sure you get the right sized screen for your fans.

IE 120mm fans need 120mm screens.

The case you're using may slightly depend as some higher end cases may already come with a factory version preinstalled, but there is nothing wrong with aftermarket. Winky Winky
