Remember to dust the box outside in a well ventilated area for an infrequently cleaned CPU can contain a lot of dust(which is an allergen). Refrain from using a plastic paint brush as much as possible for it can cause static damage. Should the need arise for too heavy a dust deposits, do so but with caution.
Blow air into the power supply to remove dust form the fans and the components within. Dust the board ensuring all components are free from thick deposits of dust. If you are daring enough(another word for having ample technical know-how) you can remove the video cards and memory modules for a better cleaning.
Pay attention to the vents around the computer so you prevent immediate re-soiling of your work as you plug it in. Re-assemble and enjoy your now healthy and clean PC. One more thing, if you tend to live in a dusty area, try buying cooling fans that have filters so you clean the innards of your PC less and change filters instead.
