You should try to avoid getting your can of compressed air to spew out the "white stuff." While it usually causes no harm to electronic components (such as your CPU), it very well could damage your components. Moreover, some cans of compressed air have a CAUTION note on them somewhere saying that the "white stuff" could possibly harm your components.

Try keeping you can held in an upright position at all times--and don't ever shake and spray.

If the components do get wet make sure that you let it dry completely before using again. PCB's should be ok as long as they're completely dry since this stuff dry's pretty fast and complete. Make sure you use the can upright though like the guy said.

I would not use compressed air on your cd-rw or dvd as it can damage the heads. Canned air is extremely useful in clearing dust away from fans and vents.
