92% Rubbing Alcohol, the clear kind and paper towels on any plastic parts of the system, for glass, a microfiber cloth. Alcohol will evaporate, unlike other cleaning agents which can cause electrical shorts if it hits the wrong places, etc ... that's the reason that alcohol is used to clean logic/motherboards. (DON'T use the 50% stuff on logic boards, 92%+ only).

If you experiment with other 'cleaners' be sure to test on a small, hidden surface, but I've been using 92% alcohol since 1986 on systems without fail.

Note: for mac/pc desktop keyboards, a toothbrush dampened in a bit of ^ alcohol makes it easy to get between the keys, and simply wipe with a paper towel.

The alcohol will remove heavy yellow nicotine stains as well.
