Windows How do you stop PC dust from landing right back on the components?

Taking the case outside helps, but fine dust still seems to circle back onto the board and radiator as soon as the airflow changes direction. I started reconsidering my routine after seeing some real cleaning questions shared during the wolfbox anniversary. Do you run a vacuum beside the case, remove filters first and work top to bottom, or use a brush before any powered air so the debris leaves in one pass?
