In MY experience which has been computer repair for 30 years I have found a great number of pcs with cooling problems attributed to dust! I have found processor and case fans that have literally froze up due to dust! Dust has been the prime culprit in most bad power supplies I have replaced.

In my experience dust has virtually no effect on the functioning of computers. I have found huge dust bunnies in every PC I have ever cracked open and they've all worked fine. I suppose it's possible it could interfere with the functioning of the cooling fan which would be bad.
Don't kid yourself, dust is a foreign material and doesn't belong in there.

If it builds up enough, it can form a blanket over the electronic parts and raise the temperature, which can cause failure eventually.
It clogs the fans and causes equipment to overheat. Most high tech equipment is has a coating on the circuit board to prevent short circuits in the components. Dust is really not that harmful for non moving parts.
There are two reasons why you should try to keep dust out of your computer. ONE: the accumulated dust clogs cooling fans and heatsinks, causing overly high temperatures.
