i would like to create air pressure that is such that dust will not settle so easily.As it is dust is settling a lot.I have filters on all intakes.I have 2 12cm intakes on the side 1 20cm fan as front intake [this is at the bottom of the front]. 1outake at the top 20cm and another 12cm outake on the back at the top.If anyone knows the haf 922 i have that with standard fans but the 2 intakes on the side as i say.

I think you mean positive and negative pressure. I forgot which one was the best but basically you need more fans taking air in as this means you are pushing the dirt inside out of the case and filling it with new air. The old air will be pushed out through ventilation etc as the pressure from the new air increases.

what i mean is i hear you can create a 'wind tunnel ' like effect and rather than the air being pretty still insibe the case it is pretty turbulant bbut this is not all the ideal apparent scenario is that when dust is sucked in it is then it turn sucked straight out rather than settling ....this is certainly not the case in my ....case,it is like a still frosty evening...still yet cool
A majority of cases are designed with "in take" fans at the front and "exhaust" fans at the back. This creates the environment you describe but in a subtle way, unless you have fans running at very high speeds (faster than standard case fans will run at) then you will find that dust will settle. Just do what the majority of people do and give the PC a good once over with compressed air/horse hair brush/vacuum once in a while.
A little dust here & there will cause no harm if removed on a regular basis. It's only when layers and layers of the stuff builds up over a prolonged period of time (usually years) that problems start to occur.
