Dust is the enemy of electronic equipment. Keeping a computer clean is an important task. Other than the normal things: don't eat or drink near your keyboard and don't remove the slot covers from the back there are a few things you can do for maintainence of your computer.
To get rid of dust and particles: computer vacuum. NOT a regular vacuum because it could cause electrostatic damage.
For cleaning the outside case of the monitor and tower: mild soap and water. Power OFF. Moisten the cleaning rag slightly.
Cleaning keyboards and other devices that have non-metalic contact points: deminineralized water
Cleaning metal contacts like the gold metal on interface cards: denatured isopropyl alcohol.
Cleaning monitors: monitor wipes. Don't use window cleaner that will damage your screen.
Blowing dust or food particles out of hard to reach places: canned air.
