One should always blow the dust off in the direction OPPOSITE of the normal air flow.
Further, heat sinks and other cooling fins should also be carefully blown free of dust. Sometimes it is more effective to remove some fans, heat sinks and fins from the ‘puter and blow them off. Elsewhere of course (like outdoors).
Power supplies are the worst item to clean as they tend to be self-contained in a case that does not lend itself to thorough cleaning. Removing the power supply from the ‘puter case is almost impossible, as it’s one of the first things installed when the ‘puter is assembled. Which means many things have to be removed to free the power supply case.
