So you are opening your cabinet and you notice all the dust. Surely not any good either for your computer or the fire safety. Here is a quick-step how to on removing it and making your computer stay clean.
Part 1: Remove the dust
Turn of the computer, and take all necessary measures before touching any parts, so you don't short-circuit any parts. Open it up, and remove as much dust as possible. Get yourself a spray can with compressed air to clean your motherboard and other vulnerable parts. Cleaning fans is a bit harder, and you might have to detach them in order to get everything.
Part 2: Making the computer stay clean
What I have found to be a good solution is getting a fan which blows air in with a good particle filter. Either 2x80mm fans blowing at low speed, or a big 120mm fan. This has kept my computer clean for years, although I have to clean the particle filter every now an then.
