Yeah, dust is the #1 problem. If it doesn't flat out clog your fans to a halt it'll insulate things and cause overheating.
A discussion of fan arrangement would be interesting. I noticed on a case I bought for my parents, every fan was arranged to blow out. Intake was through vents. I normally do the "half in, half out" thing to try and setup a better flow but it occurs to me that having them all blow out probably works well too. Depends on case design, I guess.
