This may be a light hearted approach but seriously…dust gets in. The PC draws air in and then expels it via the power supply exhaust fan and optional exhaust fans. Dust will find its way into a PC case thorough holes in the bezel or slots around the CD or DVD. Dust inside the PC case is inevitable. It can be slowed by putting dust filters on the intake fans but all you’ve bought yourself is a couple of months. Exterminating the dust bunnies is simple and should be a mandatory chore every 4 to 6 months. It’s PC maintenance that we all forget to do. Dust can clog up components like a heatsink. If the heatsink cannot do its job then the processor begins to overheat and before you know it, you’ve got a sure symptom of dust bunni-itis; the Blue Screen of Death.
