negligible. moreover, dust will generally clump up at the floor effecting nothing.
fan dust is the real problem, especially CPU/GPU fans. they're impossible to clean. I use a leafblower (DANGEROUS).
it's easy to get caught up in the ocd of OHNOEZ DUSTY COMPONENTS but unless you're like Google's cologuys who gives a shit. your real enemies are wiring, fan directional alignment, and room temperature.
