Scoured the internet and there is not one person or advise that knows how to vaccum a pc,, obviously you would need an antistatic one but there is no clear cut link that points you to any as it's all blowers, I want a sucker so is there any type of fking hoover that exists that can clean your pc? not one single video shows you how to vac a pc apart from keyboards 🙄.  Can you buy a dedicated hoover for a pc desktop to clean?

Buy an electric duster.

To clean computers we use compressed air or an electric duster, not a vaccum as this can create static electricity.

 

This thing is overkill but you get the idea.

Thing is sucking air doesn't really... work well for dust.
There are anti-static vacuum cleaners, but the problem is: its a VACUUM. You need a SEAL to actually collect the dust. That's why it works well for debris on your floor, but you still mop afterwards for the finer stuff: dust. Plus I'm pretty sure anti-static vacuum cleaners only protect the user, not the thing you're vacuuming, and if is pureply anti-static for both, it's probably expensive as hell.
That's why your best bet to not blow dust all over: collect it with a microfiber cloth instead. Yes, the cloth will be dusty as hell, but you won't have as much crap flying around like you would with a duster. Tedious, but, vacuuming just ain't really a viable option.

What about the 2 in one air blowers..couldn't you blast it loose with the blower then suck it so the crap doesn't go else where? The trouble is with a microfibre cloth is that you have to make physical contact with the components which could damage them, it might be ok for the fans but when you get to the chipsets they would have to be treated differently.

That's because it's a bad idea. 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

So what I take from your replies here is that you don't want to take the PC outside to do this?

Vacuuming is a bad idea as this creates static electricity compared to compressed air.

 

This is why you only need videos of people blowing air.
