When packing up my computer it was incredibly dusty on both the inside and outside. I used a compressed can of air to spray it all over. Is it ok to spray on the insdie of the computer? For example the motherboard, RAM CPU area etc, Will it not damage any of the components?

I've used my compressor to blow out my machines before. It's perfectly fine.

Another suggestion is to take the computer to a GAS station that sells or has an air compressor (like to use for airing up your car's tires), this works perfectly fine and better... Blowing out the dust and debris inside helps the computer perform better.
Try it!

he didnt say anything about using a compressor, he said a can of compressed air. that being said, it is perfectly fine to use compressed air to blow out dust from your computer. if you accidently turn it upside down, or any of the frozen liquid comes out, make sure it dries before you turn your computer on.
