A vacuum cleaner makes a superb van de Graaff generator. Like this:

Not a great idea for computers! Canned air is fine. Try not to blow it into the power supply.
I've read of people using the air hose at the local garage, too- which they find out is a hugely bad idea, those things often blow a LOT of oil out along with the air, making a huge mess on your computer innards.
HTH.
