In all the years (now in excess of 40!) I have worked with computers, and electronic equipment in general, I have never felt the need to blow away anything.
An annual gentle suck around the fans, and any area which has accumulated dust, using a domestic vacuum cleaner with a plastic nozzle has always been adequate, as well as cheap and safe.
