As above - is this a good idea? I have a moisture trap and a regulator on my compressor for use with airbrushes. Would this be a good alternative to air-duster cans, or are there contaminants in the compressed air that may cause damage to my pc that I'm overlooking. I know about not letting fans spin/possible loosening of cables etc.
Ta :)
 
I use one all the time,as you have said beware of moisture and spin-ng fans
no problem here been doing this for many years
obviously be careful around fragile looking component on mobo and gfx card

Just becareful as they have a lot more pressure than a can of compressed air.
 
Just buy CompuCleaner off off Rainforest. Pricey but I use it since I seen Jay 2 centz using it too.

No they aren't. It's £49.99 and free delivery if your prime. That's what I paid.

My apologies, I didn't spot you were talking about the original. Which is more expensive if you are paying for delivery, true. I'm looking forward to being able to take advantage of the free delivery offer from OCUK at some point.

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £53.69 (includes shipping: £8.70)
