Yes matter of fact I keep desktops away from anywhere near the floor and use filter material on them anyway.

Open the bottom panels as much as you dare and see if that exposes the CPU fan and GPU sinks and that will tell you if their clean, otherwise clean as I mentioned previously.
Yes Linne I would add that the OP adds disabling the fan while doing that as the compressed it can spin that fan faster than it is designed to go and rapidly wreck the bearing.
The other thing that I do is get some of those pipe cleaners (in pic) and gently push through from outside to loosen that crud as some I have seen are packed quite solid - and then just blow to rubbish out.
The alternative is to blow from the outside with the vacuum over th fan aperture but still disabling the fan from spinning but as a last resort.
