Air filters do help (on intake fans) although does lower your air movement a great deal so watch the temps!
Try to keep the PC off the ground, use compressed air (blow, not suck) onto the PCBs to get stuff clean!

i second the idea of hoovering.
all other methods of stopping dust are 100 times more efford or will cost you good beer money.

Hoovering does barley anything and don't forget, there is one hella magnetic field being put out by Henry ... it can do serious damage too close to your PC!

Get a wooden floor laid...get blinds instead of curtains
get some good filter grills, and wash more as most dust is made up of skin
Take one pair of standard issue womens tights and cut slightly smaller than your fan, attach to the fan with rubber bands and voila! ghetto air filters!

AF do a compressed air spary can, shifts the dust out of your case.
Other option is fan filters, either ghetto or pre made.
