Use compressed air to blow the dust out of the heatsink fins and fan of the cpu cooler. Also be sure to blow the dust out of the heatsink of the video card (if you have one), as well as the power supply. Then hit up any case fans.
Don't use a vacuum, especially a really good one. It might suck up something that you need. Then you'll be searching your dust bin for a tiny resistor that you'll have to solder back on to one of your boards.
