Checked online resources and found no clear guidance on vacuuming a PC. It seems most recommendations focus on keyboards rather than PCs. There aren’t any obvious videos showing proper methods. You might need a specialized, antistatic vacuum designed for desktops. A dedicated PC cleaner could be worth considering.

Purchase an electric duster for cleaning computers. We prefer compressed air or an electric duster instead of a vacuum because it avoids static buildup. It might seem excessive, but it works well.

The idea of sucking air doesn't really help with dust. There are anti-static vacuums, but the issue is that they're designed for debris on floors, not fine particles. You still need a seal to trap dust effectively. That's why they work well for larger messes, but you'll still need to mop for finer stuff like dust. I'm pretty sure anti-static vacuums only protect the user, not the object being cleaned, and if it's truly anti-static for both, it's likely very costly. The best way to avoid spreading dust is to use a microfiber cloth instead. Yes, it'll be dirty, but you'll have less debris flying around compared to using a duster. It's a bit tedious, but vacuuming isn't really the most practical solution.

I've come across many videos on this topic and I understand where to purchase them, though the experience was quite disappointing. There were discussions about it, but no actual content was shown.

Regarding the two in one air blower, it’s possible to force it out with the blower and then pull it back in to prevent debris from spreading. The issue with microfibre cloths is that direct contact can harm the parts, though fans might handle it safely while chipsets need special care.

This is because it's a poor choice.

You prefer not to use the PC for this task. Cleaning with vacuuming isn't recommended because it generates static electricity, which is better avoided than using compressed air. That's why you mainly rely on demonstration videos showing people blowing air.
