How is the dust buildup is the Phanteks Enthoo Pro?

I love everything about this case from the reviews I have seen, except for the unfiltered intake through the side of the front panel. How bad is the dust buildup in this case due to these unfiltered intakes? Dust buildup is a huge concern for me since I run a box fan in the summer, and it can kick up a decent amount of dust. Things I really like about the Enthoo Pro:

1. A 200 mm front intake fan
2. I can remove the middle drive cage to give lots of airflow to my GPU while leaving the bottom one in to give good active cooling to my HDDs
3. It looks like one of the easiest cases to build in with all the options for cable management and with how spacious it is inside.
4. The build quality is supposed to be very good, so that it could be worthwhile in the long run.
5. It's pretty cheap at $90 for the non-windowed version and I like the way it looks (I think the windowed version is ugly as hell though).

But if it lets in a lot of dust that's a complete deal breaker for me. I don't want to be constantly dragging this thing outside to spray with canned air. For those of you who own this case, how bad is the dust buildup?

I have owned this and dust was not an issue with this case, honestly.

Thanks. I ended up ordering the case and if dust buildup proves to be too much of a problem I'll just put some foam in the side intakes on the front. But the ability to mount a 120mm fan to the drive cage and a 140mm on the bottom should give me some great airflow to my GPU, and the cable management looks so clean in this case. I don't have any plans to use the PSU shroud, I'd rather have the bottom intake. The Enthoo Pro should be quite the upgrade from my current Antec GX500 that's a pain with a full ATX board, has difficult cable management, and has pretty low build quality.

After using this case for a few days, I haven't noticed any dust in it even though I have been running the fans full blast, as it's still summer in Texas. This is a much more impressive case in person than it looked like in the reviews. I'm a little surprised my GPU temperature seems to be better with the power supply shroud in place than it does with it off and a 120mm intake running full blast in the bottom mounting area, so I ended up unplugging the bottom fan I installed and then put the PSU cover back.

Ridiculous.
