so for anyone who has spent a good couple hours cleaning dust from your pc. the next drink is on me.
Yes, they do collect dust like nobody's business. The fan vaccumes it in and it just collects. particularly in my machine which runs pretty much 24/7/365.. Usually I open it up and blast out the dust with compressed air or a vacume. if its really bad I'll pull some of the cards and blast out any dust with compressed air. A typical indication that it's getting very dusty is when even in cool weather the fans run at high speed. A sign that things are getting clogged with dust.
