Most common forms of dust are organic origin, humans produce tons of it.
A computer would need to have it's own air supply for best preformance.
Note however that computers are made to run in room-temperatures. Don't
over-react about the coolness of the air.

Best solution is: Spray it's interior with WD-40 (the machine's
anti-biotic) when all components are in place. It works like magic,
makes the fans quiet, protects from ugly organic stuff that can come
with air (dust and water included), prevents electicity from jumping
from one exposed component to another (common stuff inside the power
supply unit) and protects the circuts from static electricity and other
unwelcome external voltage (that tends to come from careless user
fingers that tuch the exposed circut and/or chip legs ;).

Note however that WD-40 contains burnable stuff that is recomended to
dry-out before the computer is activated.
