Ya, canned air is a must. I also suggest finding a anti-virus you like and keep it on a flash drive or CD. I Like AVG 8.0 because it is free and not too bad for being free.

A linux livecd is also essential. get one with Gparted and the ability to read/write NTFS as well as some SAM crackers to remove forgotten windows passwords.
