do you need the anti-static braslet if your just cleanin the dust out of the mother board???im not going to move nothing but im just going to clean it with air compressed...so do i still need it?

No, not really. The purpose of the ESD strap is to keep you at the same static ground potential as the case so that you reduce the chance of discharging a built up static charge on an sensitive and expensive electronic component. Touching the case does the same thing. Keeping one hand on the metal in the case while using the other will have the same effect. That doesn't help if you need to use both hands as is generally the situation when removing/installing components. Hence, the straps keeps you at the same potential as the case and keeps both hands free. Assuming you aren't moving around much while you're blowing out the dust bunnies, just touching the case periodically should be sufficient. You don't need to actually touch the components to blow the dust out of them.
