Blow compressed air into it.

Don't try to open it up, or anything like that.
That would be a super bad time that will end in you being electrocuted.

Can of compressed air and a skewer to hold the fan still while blowing it out.

Blow until you pass out 😉 kidding kidding.

How expensive is the compressed air? Maybe try a cars air compressor/pump for now (either at the gas station or borrow one) if not maybe invest in the electric dusters if price permits

I don't know why I'm suggesting this, but here goes-
If you can't use compressed; drain your PSU and leave it unplugged for 2-3 days to let any residual charge leak away. Open the shroud and USING A NON CONDUCTIVE brush and keeping yourself grounded, blow and wipe the dust away.
I'd still recommend getting compressed over this hazard of ruining your warranty and getting electrocuted.

Then don't.

And you don't have an air compressor either?

Use a shop-vac on blower side. Just hold the fan blade. Use a Kirby or other vacuum cleaner that has a blower attachment. Push come to shove, use a hairdryer on cold setting.

Blow in from the exhaust side, not the fan side.

Not an air compressor, which is a machine.
A 8$ bottle of compressed air.
It should last for a long time, and most pc components can be cleaned with it.

Then don't.

Nonsense, it took me literally 2 minutes to find countless cans of air in the Philippines.

If this is what you're paying for a power supply, you probably need to be worrying about the power supply you purchased, not the compressed air to eventually clean it.

If you are paying 150-225 for a power supply, you most definitely have far larger issues than some dust.
