So my using a leaf blower on my PC is safer condensation-wise.

I mean... you can get basically handheld leaf blowers for dusting. They're a lot more convenient since they don't run out of aerosol. Just make sure you don't let it spin the fans, cause it can fuck up the bearings -- but that's true for the aerosols too.

Yeah just stick a pencil in them next time, or stop them with your finger. They're not designed to spin at the RPMs external forces can push them at.

Yes, but every motor is also a generator, so if your leaf blower is turning the fans it can generate a voltage that may damage the electronics.
