Dust Removal
Is it OK to use a hoover AKA vacuum cleaner inside your case to remove dust? Even if it's fine, are there any other suggestions other than the long process of cleaning? I heard about canned air... doesn't that simply blow dust everywhere and perhaps inside things like the GPU?
Cheers.

You do not want to use a vacuum cleaner in there. Compressed air is the preferred method. You risk damage with a vacuum. Take it outside and blow the dust out there.

You can put the hose on the exhaust side (if so equipped) and use it like compressed air to blow the dust out.
P.S. Dont let the fan blades spin freely from the air pressure it could cause damage.
