Sorry the top post but want to insure you

You should *never* use a vacuum cleaner inside a computer. If you do
so, you run the risk of a static electricity discharge frying the
motherboard.
I agree in theory, but in practice I'm not nearly so strict. I've used
a vacuum cleaner well over a thousand times over the years and never
I think I have seen vacs specially designed for use with computers.
Expensive (overly so, I think), but presumably static-dissipative. I'm
talking about mains (US: line) powered ones, not the USB-powered mini
ones that are really just for cleaning the keyboard.
Yes, I've seen those too. How effective they are at eliminating
static, I don't know. But if you, or anyone else, could point me to a
web site that discusses their effectiveness, I'd like to read more
about it.
If they are effective, and not *too* expensive, I would consider
buying one. Do you remember what prices you saw?
