Dust is one of your computer’s worst enemies. In order to overcome it you need to blow out your computer on a regular basis. Grab a can of compressed air (aff), take your computer outside, pop open the case and just start blasting compressed air into the machine and get the dust out of the computer.

Be sure to get the following sensitive areas:

• The power supply fan and ventilation areas.
• Any fans located on the computer’s case.
• The CPU fan and heat sink.

I was just talking to someone yesterday who said that he had his equipment in an unfinished basement and after a while just the dust from walking on the floor had completely coated all of the circuit boards in his electronics down there.  This is serious stuff that doesn’t take long to fix. So go for it!
