Just opened up and I have lots of dust bunnies. How do I SAFELY clean out the tower? Minivac? Or what?

Twice a year I lug my Mac Pro out to the garage and nail it with 150 psi compressed air.

I wish I've done "twice a year". When I moved mine recently to my new house. I have to spend 3 hrs on cleaning it before moving. That involve remove all drive bracket, remove the front twin fan, remove the heatsink cover. Carefully wipe/blow/brush away dust. I do not have thermal paste with me else I will even remove the CPU heat sink.
