Default Computer Running Noise Buildup?

I bought my desktop around November 2007 and it ran almost completely silently the first time I booted it up. Now just today, I turned it on and I could hear the computer running from the other side of my room. I believe the noise was a combination of the fans and hard drives running.

Does anyone know how I can reduce this noise? Maybe something to do with dust accumulation in the case? Any and all suggestions would be great!
