Anodized Filters:Inside or Out?

I usually do the first option unless I don't want the filter to be seen, then I'll do

FANGRILL | PANEL | FAN | FILTER

The only fault with doing this that dust gets trapped inside the fan, but I just use an air compressor to clean it out then.

Whatever looks/works best for YOU really.

In the front where it's hidden behind the bezel, I went FILTER | PANEL | RUBBER WASHER | FAN. On the side panel, FANGRILL/PANEL | FILTER | RUBBER WASHER | FAN. If you don't want to buy longer screws and rubber washers you should be able to flip the filter where it doesn't hit the fan blades. Just reverse the countersink hole so it's backwards. At least all the ones I have are slightly concave like that.

Fredstar Apex Advanced Techie	Anodized Filters:Inside or Out? I've bought anodized filters and should I put the on the inside: FANGRILL \| PANEL \| FILTER \| FAN or out: FANGRILL \| FILTER \| PANEL \| FAN or some other way? When I put them inside my fan rubs up against it, and I think that's going to be bad. So please help!
