Talking fan filter suggestion

I have three 80mm fans front, 1 side, 2 rear, I need filters for dust. What do you suggest will make a good filter. If I can filter the intake, no point blocking the fans blowing out. One fan has lights, want to see them, so what will make a good filter? The grils on the case(the round holes) are not that effision.
Any suggestions?

Thanks, are there any more types?
The mesh is suitbale for the side fan, not that suitable for the front & rear fans, which are already in the case. I could screw it in, but the case filter, is a bit rounded, won't look nice.
Thanks again

There are other styles so you might check all of the modding retail sites, I know Directron has some as well as xoxide.

I bought an aquarium filter, I don't know what it is for, It less than $1 for one big green/white filter. I modded it in front of the fan,for the side fan behind it. It works! And its cheap. I attached it with Tape Pc also more quiter now. I did some test and no restriction to airflow. I just started placing it, and already I see mosquitoes stuck on it. So I recommend fish filter (I don't know what I bought) to anyone. Only make sure you have 1/2" space, its a bit thick.
