A dusty room can lead to a computer nightmare. Dust is easily sucked into the power supply and computer case. As the dust collects, it will restrict airflow throughout the computer. The restrictive airflow will cause computer components to overheat and shorten their lifespan. To help combat a dusty computer, I recommend getting your computer off the floor and on top of a table or shelf. Every 3 months unplug the computer, pop the computer case off the computer, and carefully use an air compressor to blow out all of the dust. You will surprised how this will affect the cooling of your computer and decrease those hardware problems.
