Does this have an easily removable dust filter for the front fan intake?

Very easily. The front panel clicks in place and the filter is removed by pushing on a tab. I recommend AnandTech's review for more detail: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6917/corsair-obsidian-350d-case-review

I do not notice any additional dust in the room where the fan is located. It is a great fan!

These might cause the fan to increase the noise if running at full speed, but this is expected from any filter. I would only install them on intake fans, they really catch a lot of dust.

Most of the dust comes from the back of the machine. I do not notice dust coming from the front

No. It took me three hours total to take it apart (multiple screws on the cover and motor casing) and wipe down each individual blade (there are hundreds) on the actual fan part, because those parts don't come off at all. If you value dust free fanning, get an old standby fan. I cleaned that one in 5 minutes.

I simply vacuum over the intake and it gets the dust out well. Then Windex and a cloth around the fan ring. I do the every week or so. They're great.

No it does not have a filter, a huge plus the way I see it. :) I've had 2 of these for over 2 years and have been great considering it's kind of an unknown brand. Super quiet and no issues with proper cleaning. Lagged longer than the Homedics brand I had previously.

No I don't believe it does. This is more like a fan with a very minimal screen/filter. Nothing really special to it.

Yes it does. You will eventually need a filter cleaning kit and I also put K&N;'s waterproof cover on mine (just to ensure no moisture gets in the intake).

There is 1 front 120mm intake fan (included) and 1 80 or 92mm rear exhaust fan slot (not included)

There are filters on the front, but I still bought a set of magnetic DemciFlex filters for the front, side, and bottom that work great and do a good job keeping dust from getting into the case. They're also easier to clean than the filters incorporated into the case.

The air intake is the "oval" area on the front of the machine. The filter is right behind the oval area. The "clean" air comes from the left side. Don't hesitate to buy this as you will be quite satisfied with it.

I did not need a filter for my fan. I used it to remove Radon in my basement. A filter could be added by running the 4'' fan into a 4'' register box and using a register filter.Hope this helps.

There is no filter to replace, it stays clean so the ion part might be the reason why. It's just a smooth flowing fan that has adjustable wind current. Reminds me of a ocean breeze.

Not at all. That's precisely what this kind of filter does. There will be no dust. Just make sure that you change the filter at least once a month.

It certainly should have a removable filter. It fits tightly against the inner end of the dust collection bin. If it was missing the bin wouldn't be sealed against the body of the vacuum and the vacuum wouldn't work well if at all. The filter can be removed for cleaning and it will last for some time, but it is a good idea to have a second filter.

No... There is a nice gap between the front panel and the chassis of the case ... Very good air flow!
