I know what you want to do, but it is hard to vacuum PCB's very effectively. I try to do that on occasion when working on systems but I've never found a method as good as blowing them out.
To solve the problem when working on home PC's I just take them out by the garage and blow them out with an air compressor. That way you can blow out all of the fans and also the power supply. I built a PC for a buddy up in Ohio who has a car repair shop and his PC gets really dirty, but the air compressor makes short work of blowing everything out. If you don't have an air compressor then use a shop vac that can blow as well as suck.
When I do vacuum I usually just use a soft natural hair brush and a normal crevice tool on a vacuum beside the brush it to suck up the dust.
I normally don't like using any kind of small vacuum, but if I had to buy a small one just for what you want it for I'd look at something like the Metropolitan Vacuums that
Danase and
TigerMike had a link to.
, but mainly because I haven't taken the time to measure what size adapters I need for the various vacuum hoses I have. Well that and the fact that I find it easier to just tote the PC's outside and blow the suckers out
