Lian Li PC-O11 XL & MetallicGear Neo Qube
I'm using both

PC-O11 XL for my gaming PC with 7 x 120MM fans. 3 intake + 4 exhaust
Neo Qube for my home server with 6 x 120MM fans. 3 intake & 3 exhaust

The gaming PC runs 6 - 12 hours per day depending on the day. Sits on a desk
Home sever runs 24-7 for a whole year. Sits on the floor

Neither of these systems has much dust build-up. Just last week I open the Neo Qube to replace some liquid cooling parts, barely any dust inside, even the fans have very little dust. Fans in the home server run at a fixed speed of 1300RPM

Both casings come with filters all around the case but I only use dust filter on the intake. Removed dust filter on exhaust because it's unnecessary

but how often do you check or clean for dust using your case?
Never. Except when I want to change or upgrade something inside the PC
The home server has been running for 18 months before I decided to upgrade the liquid cooling loop

Barely any dust inside
