I'm guilty of not cleaning my computers as often as I should.

I've discovered (through painfully puzzling experience) that cleaning out my main box every 18 months or so is mandatory. What happens is the CPU fan blows dust onto the chipset chip nearest the CPU, and it gets caught and collects on that chip's leads (which are very closely spaced). Once enough dust builds up it seems to conduct e/m or static and the system locks up unpredictably. Vacuum the dust away and all is well.

I have to clean my PC every 4 months because of the high dust content in the air here. |

Same here, mandatory clean up every once in a while, I recently removed two additional FANs (front and rear), cause the temperatures are low anyway (Intel e6320 33C idle/ 43C load), so currently I have only a 90x90 FAN on CPU (rotates slowly) and a 120x120 fan in PSU (rotates even slower). The dust level is little smaller after removing additional FANs.
The best would propably be to have fanless system ...
