I'm going to spend the weekend cleaning/removing dust etc from my PC.

My plan is basically going to be to take it all apart, give the case and fans a good wipe down, clean and re-apply thermal paste to the CPU and GPU. Just give everything a clean.

What I'm wanting to know is how does everyone here deal with dust? Specifically I have dust on the top of my gfx card (exposed component board), motherboard and in the CPU cooler. I'm guessing to get the dust out of the CPU cooler I could just buy some compressed air and blow it out/take to it with the vacuum cleaner but what about on top of the component boards? blow it off? wipe it off etc

Aside from giving the thing a bit of a squirt to get rid of any dust clogging the heat sink.....
