Whats the best way to get dust out of the inside of your computer, my pc is getting quite thick with it.

Should be careful with a vacuum. Wind tunnel tbh.

all I did was on a sunny day take the case outside , take the top off. Get the Hairdryer out and flick to to blow cold. then blast away.

Does the hair dryer create static, akin to the argument people use against vacuum cleaners, the static produced kills components?

The fan on my laptop broke last year, and so the PC kept overheating and turning itself off. I stuck the hoover over the fan, a great big clump of dust came out, and hey presto the fan worked again, its been fine ever since.
Now I just hoover it all over when its turned off.

Im not putting one of them near my PC again.

It made me crap my pants last time when i was hoovering the carpet near my PC. It just turned off, thought i had done some damage.
