well, antistatic bags are just that, they prevent static charges from contacting electronics. they arent supposed to do anything about dust. dust doesnt hurt electronics, nor are they generally stored in antistatic bags in the warehouse. the parts are placed in bags prior to shipment, because packing materials generate static.

dusty electronics arent inferior to clean ones, im afraid. provided you remove any great excess, of course. but it sounds like their parts are just crappy if youve gone through that many replacement parts. or else that computer needs to be on a surge protector.
