Default Falcon's Dust-Off: is this safe to use?

I bought a can of Dust-Off to clean out my computer because the apartment I just moved into is super dusty, and I can't really clean my Tuniq unless I reseat it, but I really don't want to do that because how much of a pain it is to reseat it.
After reading the can, I'm uncertain that this would be the right stuff to use.

Has anyone ever had any experience with Dust-Off?
If this is a bad product to use, what should I use to clean out the dusty innards of my computer?

It says it's "compressed gas" and also gives me warnings about spraying it into enclosed areas and of course potential ignition sources and other hot surfaces (or something like that).

i use those all the time to clean out my case. Just make sure that you don't shake it or use it upside down, then you would freeze something.

Spray it on a spoon, then touch the spoon and see if its frozen and explodes into a million bits. If not, then its safe to use.
