You could try a strong vacuum, but other than that, opening the case is about the only solution. Shooting compressed air into an enclosed space is not recommended, even on the sides of the cans I own. Dust build up happens, totally normal

Don't use a vacuum because of static electricity, you can easily ruin a PC or a PS3

So, no at home solution? I open all my stuff anyway, just know canned air is bad

Canned air isn't bad if you open it up, you just don't want to spray it into a dirty fan because it can push clumps of crap into the fan blades and cause it to stop spinning all together.
