I've had to reformat my hard drive twice since I've had it (which is only about a month) The first time because the resolution was set incorrectly (my fault) and I had to wipe everything so I could actually see something on the screen. The second time was about a week later after my graphics card went fizzle and I had to borrow a spare from my school, but again I couldn't uninstall the old driver before hand because, again, I couldn't see anything, so I had to start from the beginning again.

Formatting, reinstalling Windows, and reinstalling an additional ₤1500 of software more than once in a month is not fun guys.
Your best bet to keeping your computer dust free has to do with something completely unrelated to computers. Your furnace's air filter. If you keep that replaced, your house's air will be much cleaner, and there will be far less dust in your house. Not only will your computers benefit, but your health will as well.

Air purifiers work wonders too.
