I need to clean out my computer and will have a thin layer of dust that wont be removed by a air can. What can I use on my graphics card PCB to remove the dust? I would preferably like an option that would be lying around the house and not alcohol.

I second this, nothing is more effective. Just be sure to plug in and power up your PC while washing it in the shower to make sure everything is operating properly.

You can buy a brush and use gentle strokes to coax the dust off.
