My room's always dusty somehow and it does get a bit dusty in my case... got 3 x 120mm intake fans and they seem to hoover it up. Not too bad cleaning the case every now and again with compressed air, but I'm not sure about inside a PSU...... I know that dust can cause shorts as well, and with the fan being on top of the PSU, it seems like it would be completely open to dust.
