The installation is quite simple: a big sheet of filter mounted over the fan with duct tape... :-) The filter is something that is intended for vacuum cleaners. The ones that you can cut into the right shape yourself. A very unfocused picture of the bottom of the cabinet here.

This is exactly what I've been wanting to do for a year now. I have two low, wide cabinets under a screen similar to your top photo. I have a (very hot) amp inside one of the cabinets, some other components, and soon a HTPC (just bought a LixSystem today). My question is... do you have a photo of what the fan looks like from the bottom (outside of the cabinet)? I saw your reference to a filter but can't figure out how it attaches / looks. If this is not possible I understand. I had always assumed I need to underpressure my cabinet because the amp is mounted near the top inside the unit and I thought I need to give somewhere for the heat to go. But I appreciate your comment about dust, and so I suppose I could have a fan blowing in from the bottom (with a filter) and blowing out right next to the amp (at the top). Thank you!! Very nice!
