hmm interesting, when i opened up my desktop one of its sides had a complete layer of dust on it, just curious what kind of problems can that cause?

the main prob it would cause it overheating.

just get a can of compressed air and blow all the dust off the heatsink, and rest of the inside.

You want to do that about every 6 months or so.

more often if its dusty where u live.

It could cause overheating, since your heatsink's job is to pull heat off your processor
