Dust can cause multiple problems for a computer. Consider the following:
- A machine reboots 3 times daily, taking 5 minutes productive time each reboot. Calculate then 15 minutes a day at a burdened labor rate of $65 / hour. That's $16.25 / day or $3250 / year you are losing in productive time thanks to dust. And we won't even mention the amount of time lost if data is lost in the spontaneous reboot (that presentation for the board meeting wasn't that important, was it?)
- After a period of time the machine simply fails and will not start. Consider the cost of replacement.
