For static(ESD), new packaging now are more ESD resistant as the design incorporate more ESD protection into the design. As ESD can be classify into many levels, so for computer components, the use of vacuum cleaner and compress air is safe as the voltage generated will not be high enough to kill the part. So just ground urself b4 touching any components by touching on some metal part, and it should be quite safe.
Search in wikipedia for ESD for more information.
