Hi,

Was wondering if anyone is using these high pressure air blowers to clean they're PC cases, and where can you hire/buy them? I can't find any on the internet :/
Thanks.

What?

In all seriousness, as said above. Just get cans of compressed air from the supermarket.
 
I hope he meant cans of compressed air tbh, only someone with more money than sense would buy an air compressor just to clean out their PC.. The money better spent on proper dust filters.

At a fiver a time (or more from what I remember last time I looked...), it doesn't take that long to spend more than the price of a cheapish compressor.

I've got a couple of compressors in the garage (one for the car, and one for airbrushing), and there are blower attachments for both to clean dust off things :)

I keep meaning to get a rechargeable spray can that I can hook up to the compressor and then bring inside for use (that's about £30 and can be filled with virtually any air source, including case compressors of the sort you can keep in the boot of your car)..
 
I use 2.8 CFM "pancake" air compressor (usually for nail guns) and it is miles better than the canned air. I use it for all sorts of things around the house. Not terribly expensive.

At my work we have a monster 30Hp compressor and i take my tower to the workshop and blow mine out with 125 Psi air, mighty clean after that...
 
First of all sorry for my english..

I'm sick of these cans, they run out quickly. Cheaper to get a gun rather to keep buying cans.

Just bought the one you got holbay.
 
Usually take the case outside and use a leaf blower to sort it out, amount of dust that gets blown off is unreal
 
I guess I can use anything what blows air basically, still there must be some common sence. Datavac seems alright as well, would love to see the actual performance.
 
4£ is still too much, staples sells for 4.90£ it's the same price range everywhere. I can't clean my PC with one bottle..
 
1x packet of balloons
1x packet of straws
1x packet of elastic bands

I'll leave you to figure it out.

call Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90 . Violence or self harm never solves anything.
 
Just be careful if you're using a powerful compressor that you don't get too close to any of the boards, I've seen people blow components off PCBs with air compressors before :(
