i often clean my pc with a vacuum cleaner as well (leaf blower is better though)

have you tried to use compressed air dusters ?

I've been using a vacuum (just the hose attachment, only use brush for case sides etc) and a long bristle artists brush (3/4-1") for years. Hold the vac a few inches away from the components and use the brush to stir up the dust. Compressed air cans work well for small areas like between fan blades or heatsink grills, just don't hold the can long in any one spot or condensation builds up extremely fast and now you've got wet dirt instead of dust.

A leaf blower is way way too powerful to clean a pc.

It would likely do some damage

Do not use a vacuum cleaner; dust moving up the hose can cause destructive static. Compressed air is the safest choice for dust removal; do it outside on a nice day or you will risk the wrath of your wife / gf / mom over the dust.
A leaf blower might have or pick up debris which it could easily accelerate to a destructive speed when it hits something inside your PC; I wouldn't take the risk myself, so I can't advise others to do it.

Additionally, you can't get a precise directed flow with a leaf blower.
It may blow out the large bits, but you can't get into the nooks and crannies.

Like using a chainsaw to trim your toenails.
