I don't see dust, but with me, the problem is

You do have a neat, compact workspace! I like your location - I'll bet you can keep an eye on various parts of your house from there.
Our workspaces are really our true 'homes', aren't they!

Probably dust in case
It is very easy to open up case. Just look for some big screws holding case cover on. They usually just spin and you won't need any tools. After you get it off, used canned air to clean out the inside of case. Lots of dust can get on fans, boards, air vents and makes PC heat up.
dust bunnies
That is why I like the hardwood or laminate - you can see the dirt and dust bunnies and vacuum it up, plus the dirt magically collects at the baseboards so it's doubly easy to clean. When we took up the carpet and I saw all the dirt that had worked its way through the carpet and padding despite vacuuming, it was really an eye-opener.
Baby Dust to You!!!!!!!!!!
I soooo hope you are. I know the feeling to wait and wait and wait. My son was an accident then went on Depo and tried for 5 years and SURPRISE...along comes my daughter. Just recently (last Frida) took a test and came out positive again, not trying but no birth control since my daugther was very young so probably about 2 years again. Anyway, enough of my story. Take the Test! Cant wait to hear.
BTW..off topic...how long before I tell boss?
I feel the same way about the dust bunnies.
They are easy to see and clean up with a quick vacuum or pass of a swiffer. I've heard that a carpet that has been in place for 15 years can weigh nearly twice it's original weight because of accumulated dirt that doesn't come up with vacuuming. Our 100-year-old house has original pine flooring. Pine is soft, and we've refinished it once in the 25 years we've been here. It's a more rustic look, and I've raised 3 boys in the house, not minding any little nicks and scratches along the way. Now that they are grown, we'll refinish again. Plus, I like the option of changing the look of the room with a throw or area rug, if I like. Our addition has a subfloor which we covered with carpet. It's our family room, and the carpet is always dirty. The other end of the addition has a wood laminate floor, which has been the best flooring we've had by far. It doesn't scratch, it's easy to clean, and it looks and feels just like wood. Some laminates are cheap looking, as though they were Xerox copies of real wood. We spent more money and got a nicer looking product. When it's time to replace the kitchen flooring, we're thinking of doing a semi-remodel to remove the old vinyl flooring (which is cracking and tearing after 22 years), installing in-floor radiant heat, and then wood laminate flooring. I think that will look great, plus we can find some greener or enviro-friendly recycled products, as well. Newer green construction is doing less and less carpet, because durable flooring can be made of recycled materials, is cleaner, and lasts longer.
Oh, and a friend of mine just had a cork floor installed in her kitchen. It looks amazing! I thought it would like like a bulletin board, but it's actually really nice. Since it's brand new, I can't comment on the durability. But it is eco-friendly, wasn't terribly expensive, and it really looks great. You might want to investigate that.
You are right about that clouds of dust/dirt thing...
I have a bagless and that is exactly what I do not like about it.
Well, we prolly breathe in a zillion dust mites, etc. a day anyway. nm
