Clean the dust using normal coloring/painting brush and if you can get a air blower (don't use hair dryer) or a can of compressed air, that would help a lot.
Which cabby do you have?

cotton cloth, be easy on parts

I use a vacuum cleaner attached with a soft brush once a month.
Hard to reach areas I use a small hard brush to get the dust fall off.

Ask a computer shop for a "laptop vacuum"

I havent tried it, just heard something abt it.

I tried that it works with usb connected power & its not so powerful to pull the dust.

:confused: isn't cleaning with a brush or cloth going to produce static charge?
all the hardware manuals warn specifically about that?

not the pure cotton ones :)

instead using high pressure air do cause charge effusion, like vacuum cleaning etc .

dude! use vaccum cleaner and use the option of blower which is powerful enogh to blow the dust.
