Ok I wont repeat what every one else has said regardless of must saying
different things I'm sure they all work. Anyway what I will add is brick
dust is very fine so I personally would check the case and if your
system was on at the time its gonna be pretty bad. 

Clean as recommended by others but don't forget to check the not so
obvious things like cd/dvd drives I'm sure they don't like dust on the
laser (sadly this might take a little more work with screwdrivers and
such)

Once you have finished all you need to do to make sure you efforts where
enough is just check the cpu temp and case temp from the bios and make
sure they are in normal operating temps.
