The heat may damage components.
Use a hand air blower instead.

Use the blower on vacuum cleaner to clean the PC. But, you can use the vacuum cleaner to clean the unsensitive parts like the fan on the SMPS.

U gone nuts!!!!!!
Use a very soft cloth, a little damp one and clean gently. Don't touch the PSU and the small ( I should say structures) of the motherboard especially the big ones. Finally, you might blow air for a while for the dampness to go away, don't start the PC before 24 hours as the dampness might remain in some parts, or your PC will go BLIFF! smoke in the air
