Canned air

[MooMoo444]

Do OcUK sell this?

I can't seem to find any on their site, which seems odd for a massive PC hardware store..

Am I just being blonde and can't see it?

 

[Defy Belief]

I don't think they do.

get a bike pump instead (one of the long stick ones)

one of these

and one of these

cost me less than 2.50 for all of it and works like a charm.

it also doesnt get any moisture in it like the cans of air can

 

[MooMoo444]

Thanks, not after saving money so just looking for the easy can of air

I guess I'll have to go to competitor for this one :-/

Depending on what you want to blow with the air you should think about get some mini/micro vacuum cleaner attachments designed for cleaning PCs and actually get the crap out rather than blowing it around.

the problem is you can spray moisture into the computer, thats the reason i opted for the pump etc.

its not only cheaper but always there and not gonna ruin anything

The canned air is useful to an extent, but you have to hold it perfectly upright or else the moisture comes out which can be frustrating.. but I use it with no probs

you can pick up the cans in some pound shops, and Asda etc.. but in Asda its like a fiver.. so if you have any of the pound shop chains near you, try there 1st

Asda its called AIR DUSTER

I bought some of the Dust Off Gaming Gear from OCUK a while back, can't seem to find it now so guessing they stopped stocking it. Works a treat, though.

The pump is by far a better idea and environmentally friendly too.

I bought an air compressor from Aldi for £30, use it for a multitude of jobs as well as cleaning the PC with the same bicycles accessories from above,

So what's the best way to clean your PC and can anyone trust me links to the bike pumps

 

[davido_labido]

lol everyone copyin my flow eh xD

just go on any retailer and type "bike pump" get the cheapest there is.. literally a stick is better than the fancy ones

then get a bike adapter which is the picture in hand

i'll trust you if the other guy doesnt but its pretty easy.

also thanks wise man davido labido as you have shown us a real neat trick xD

The one problem with random compressors is they might spit out a bit of oil as well.

not only oil, water as well... because the air contains water.
there is something to remove the water before it comes out, like a filter or regulator.
