That is unless it actully is aa compress air can

There are many differnt kinds.

I would never reccomend using a vacuum on your computer. NEVER. Take a can of air and use it. and a soft non scratching towel and some q-tips. Be smart. Computer gear is just too expensive.

I too have swept out a pc with a vaccum. Its old, Compaq MV5000 series

uron 700 320MB ram. Nothing huge to lose but its not mine to be wasting either. However it sucked up the massive chunks of dust that consumed the poor PC for over 5 years. (first time it had been cleaned) It's still going strong and I haven't got any messages saying : you cleaned your computer with a sweeper! The system will now crash and burn!

Just don't be stupid and careless, and if your computer is worth even $300 or more, then don't be so cheap as not spending $5 for compressed air, or being too lazy to go out to your garage and firing up the air compressor.
