I take my computer out to the garage and use the air compressor on it...Not a bit of dust left after that!! The air in the can is safe to blow right on the parts!!!

If I were cleaning the inside of my computer I would start with a vacuum cleaner, otherwise, you get dust blowin everywhere.
I use the attachment with the bristles to gently clean off the non-electrical surfaces, then remove the bristles and use the long tapered to get between cards and along the motherboard.
I suppose using the air duster is safe, just be sure to re-seat the cards to make sure they still have good contact.

Do not use canned air to clean the insides of your computer. It can cause sudden temperature changes and damage components. Use a soft brush and a mini-vacuum.

Shouldn't be a problem but just make sure if you unplugged any wires in your cpu accidentally, plug it back correctly. Most of the wires inside the cpu are attached quite firmly... So, not much to worry about there.

if u want to clean the inside of a computer, use a vaccum cleaner to do that. But never use the sucker. Use the blower.
