Completely sand blast then machine wash and tumble dry (gentle cycle). It will be just fine.

ah yes the good ol dust bunnies... been some years since I saw that... anytime a computer sits on the ground with carpet or dusty hard floors will see that. Granted I have seen cases where you could make a new Persian cat out of the fur and hair inside... and others so chocked full of black tar from chain smokers.
found this site with all sorts of pictures of screwups, much worse than a little dust...
