Cleaning a PC?

What do people use to clean their PCs if it is excessively dusty? Like proper giant clumps of dust.

My friend has a silly amount of dust like 2mm thick on the pcb of his gpu. :/ I need to clean it for him. Just wondered where I could get these cleaning stuff aswell. Would a lens cleaner with its little brush be a good tool?

Urgh it's going to be a pain, he doesn't live in a very 'nice' place... Top floor of a flat and well it's not exactly friendly.

I thought about compressed air.

I'll be using the hoover don't think it has any soft brushes with it though. Just for getting the hard dust of as the hoover doesn't get that off.

He got the pc two years ago and hadn't opened it since. And it has like a huge fan on the side. :/ I think it's above 120mm. It's BSOD'n and I looked inside and died a little...
