I pray to god you are kidding about the mop.

Take a can of air to it and get all the dust out of them. Be sure to properly ground yourself and do it with the computer off. When blowing out the fans, hold them so they don't spin.

A vacuum cleaner increases the chances of electrostatic shock, so do not use that...

I use two methods. Compressed air, and cheap disposable chip brushes of about 3 inches.
