How's the best way to clean the inside of your case?

I just use an air compressor. I make sure that I keep the pressure fairly low (only leave it running for a little while, and while pressure is higher I use it on other parts of the case) then switch it off and use the lighter pressure near components.

My vacuum can blow air out, so I just use that to blow the dust out of there every once in a great while.

I have heard of several cases of people washing their components in the dishwasher (with no soap), and them still being 100% functional afterwards.

I use a can of air, but I take the case outside so I don't end up with a room full of dust.

Or just use the canned air, then vacuum around to clean up the dust.

Why bother cleaning it? I bring it outside a couple times a year and use canned air to clean off the fans and blow out the dust but don't bother to make everything sparkle as I don't spend a lot of time looking at the inside of my case.:p

However, I do keep my monitor spotless. :D

I use a can of compressed air myself. I have seen ESD vacuum cleaners though, which would probably work fairly well, especially combined with compressed air.
