Take the computer case outside like on your sidewalk, take the side off, and blow some of that concentrated leaf-blowing air into it from all angles. You will see the dust fly out and this is much more effective than those little cans of compressed air (and those cans are expensive...if you already have a leaf blower, this method is free).

I noticed that some computers had this weird redish brown dust inside. The supervisor told me that those were the PCs that were in the houses of smokers. Apparently, as the fan draws air through the system, the electrical charge attracts the reddish part of the smoke, which sucks in other dust. It was NASTY.

Vacuum cleaners actually generate a very strong static field and can zap computer parts. This is why compressed air is used. Blow it out let the dust SETTLE and dust/vacuum the carnage after the computer is closed back up... oh and do that before you start the computer backup, or you will just suck all that dust you blew out right back into the computer.
