I would clean it every 3 months, dust sometimes takes little performance + nice looks, however if you don't bother just clean it once a year.

I personally do a cleaning every 3-4 months. If it looks like a good bit of dust is coming out and you can see the dust it is time for a cleaning.

Clean it when you want. If you hate all dust then clean it regularly, just make sure it doesn't get TOO think and hinder cooling performance.

I hate a disgust towards a build up of dust. I opened an old pc that had been used for about a decade with no filters and cleaning: there was a lot of gagging :P Because of this I dust my pc and clean the filters every 2 weeks or so so I never have to deal with large amounts. (also i find it kinda therapeutic)
