As I swap hardware, I like to take this time to clean the PC as well. Unfortunately, they don't seem to sell vacuum cleaners that can blow air out as well as vacuum. That's fine as I prefer actually WIPING off the dust rather than just "relocating" it to the surrounding areas
I was wondering if it is good practice to use the vacuum cleaner to clean the case (including electronics) as well? I use the small attachment with the brush to dislodge the dust and get it off the components, such as the back of the GPU's PCB. I've seen a couple of YT videos doing this or using blowers or spray cans, then I've also seen/read some advice that says "NO!" to vacuum cleaners!
I normally clean the rest of the case with a damp microfiber cloth and at the rate I'm going, I'm pretty sure whatever moisture is gone by the time I power up the system.
Thoughts?
