I find that the main culprit in dust related PC problems is simply laziness and (for lack of a better term) ignorance. In other words, people don't keep the areas around their CPU clean, partly because they are unaware of the dust problem. Out of sight - out of mind. The suggestions in this article help cure both of these issues. These are some good suggestions for protecting computers from the effects of dust.

Every device that has an air intake and exhaust will eventually fill with dust. A simple fiber filter on the intake fan, using small velcro fasteners, will cut down on about half of the dust. These filters can be cut to size with a scissor. I cant understand why someone has’nt come up with a filteration system for PC’s.

Make sure you take it outside first. It will create a real mess. Don't use a vacuum cleaner to clean it out because a vacuum creates all kinds of static.

This thing is a huge dust collector. With 3-120mm (2 infront, one in back) +1-200mm man I find it hard to keep clean.. Another way is to not buy a Antec 900. This thing is a huge dust collector.

It depends on the case airflow design. The Antec case I use has no side vents. Sucks in from from front thru filters, exhaust thru the top and back.
