    if u take the compressed air option be sure to wear a face mask!!
    personally i use a hoover with a short nozel and a "natural" fibre brush to get into the heatsink and stick areas
    note the natural fibre it wont conduct static, making close contact with internal components with a hoover is not good for static so be careful in there and earth yourself ( touch a radiator) just before going in

    You can actually get anti static vacs, for the hoover mad enthusiasts out there, and brushes come in the anti static variety also. But for ease of use and price you can't beat a good ole fashioned can of air, make sure its HFC free though. (Its good to be green). If your worried about creating dust, either have your vac handy outside of the case, or take the thing outside on your patio table on a dry day, and do it alfresco........:D
