This will remove the majority of the dust, without spreading it everywhere in the vicinity! After that, if necessary, the compressed air comes out. Great for cleaning air-spaced tuning capacitors, but watch the pressure!
As to canned air, I have never used one, so can't comment. Less than the cost of a dinner out, though!

Yep, me too. Don't take dust inhalation lightly - as has been mentioned elsewhere it's not dust that carries you off but what the dust carries that might. Having repaired power supplies that are used in a variety of industrial concerns, I wouldn't dream of blasting the dust out with a compressor - you often have no idea what you would be breathing in - it's simply not worth the risk IMHO
