One thought on RAID for backups:
A RAID mirror (exact copy) like RAID 1 is good for fault tolerance in a server situation, but one of the drawbacks is that if you somehow corrupt your data (virus or otherwise), your mirror backup is also instantly corrupted. For the average system a hard drive sync program (like Microsoft’s SyncToy) that is run regularly.
Also, a less expensive alternative to an SSDs is a a Compact Flash card SSD http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/video-centurys-compact-flash-ssd-sata-adapter-reviewed/

I wouldn’t recommend using a vacuum cleaner on your computer because you can create ESD (electrostatic discharge) that can ruin the components. If you want to use a vacuum hold it near the dust, without it touching any part of the computer, and use the compressed air to spray the dust into the vacuum hose.
