I designed 3D printed components to mount my ITX + 3080 + SFX to an IKEA Skadis pegboard, so it can be wall-mounted behind my TV.

Depends in how clean your room is. I have a case without dust filters and it's been running for over a year without any visible dust accumulating.

Also it's mounted up high, the further you can get from your floor the cleaner it'll be.

We sweep our floors every day and vacuum twice a week and I need to clean my tower dust covers every two months.

Wow, we only vacuum once a week, that's it. Maybe its because my tower is on my desk? Or our air is just really clean for some reason...

It really depends where you live. Some places are very dusty, especially if it's generally dry and/or windy.

Getting it off the floor helps a lot. I used to work in an office with carpet, and when we got new PCs I sat the keyboard box on the floor and put the PC on top of that.
