I wanna know how often do you dust your gameroom? What are some ways to prevent the dust from accumulating on the figures and games. Thanks. Edited by JohntheGameCollector, Feb 10 2012, 11:24 PM.

If the outside climate isn't too bad, open your windows every now and then. Drapes also help, and can be taken down easily and thrown in the washer. Ceiling fans help as well by circulating the air, further making your carpet and drapes more effective. Those items also add to the acoustics of the room, making any sound system you have sound better.

And specifically get DVD shelves, the game cases fit in there without leaving much room for dust to collect. When it comes to game cartridges, do the same as with the DVD cases, place them so there's little room for air, so dust doesn't collect, and obviously place the open end of the cartridges inward.

Whenever I feel my shelfs they always feel moist, not wet but kinda moist, but i think it's just because i keep my gameroom cold. BTW is it ok for dust to be on boxs like special editions or just boxes in general. Will the dust damage the boxes or should I be dusting more often?

I've had copy of Arena and Daggerfall on my shelves for close to 20 years, both are in their original cardboard boxes, and have been exposed to plenty of dust over the years, and they're still in prestine condition.
