an air compressor, or a bike pump I guess. Or a monkey with a rubber tube that doesn't mind getting stepped on.
The Fry's near where I live sells cans of air stuff like that for 3 cans for $2 or $3. Some places sell them for cheap, and you might be able to get a deal for them on ebay.

Absolutely nothing... Owning systems with a collective age of 25+ years and using them daily I have never once needed compressed air... It's a gimmick... just get a cloth and wipe down the big clumps.

Its not completely a gimmick as you can't always get the dust out of some areas with just a cloth. I would check if you your vacuum can do anything crazy or if you have a hair dryer which can either be turned on so its not hot air but just regular air or just don't keep hair drying your computer for a long duration with heat.
Otherwise lung air is alright but it really can't be focused well. I say if you need to spray your Heatsink for example and don't want to take the heatsink off just buy canned air but for large clumps just blow by mouth. I think canned air is a required evil of sorts...plus if you turn the can upside down you can freeze and burn your friends! |

holy crap 120 PSI
![]() Its tough to get anything outside of compressed air to match the pressure. you can buy an el cheapo diaphragm compressor for the cost of a dozen aircans, but they are prettly low pressure. maybe blopens ![]() |

In a craft store you will find a reusable spray can. It has a head
that looks very much like a regular spray can, except it has a port that you can use to add air from a compressor. Just take it by the gas station and fill it up once in a while.....but take it to the garage when you blow it out----Man, did she climb all over my ass when I blew the tower out right there in her craft room.....looked like a dust storm... ![]() |

lol - I'm a little lucky.
Neighbour has a small air compressor - when I last opened up a dust filled box I borrowed it and hey presto - clear of dust. Draw-back : Had to hold my breath on a few occassions - too much dust. ![]()

Buy in bulk and you can get a good deal on those compressed air cans. They work wonders on the computer, like you said. Look around on the net and see what fits your budget, because a compressor will be very expensive and a tire pump won't have enough 'umph' ..
