I've always cleaned out all my electronics, via it be computer or stereo, with a small compressed air tank. It's the best way to do it imo, fastest as well. Just don't press the nozzle right next to any of the components (stay a good foot back) and you are good to go. I've never had any troubles from doing it that way, dunno how much of a risk it actually poses though. *note* - if you do it on your pc/laptop fans make sure to try to hold the fan in place as you do it, you can cause damage to them if you cause them to spin too fast.
