PC cleaning tools - Datavac

A feather duster is what I used. Gets into every nook and crany. Long lasting power source. Cheap. Comes in a range of colours to match your motherboard (mine is actually gay pride / rainbow flag coloured to match my pink washing up gloves).

Hi all,

I have been looking at alternatives to using canned compressed air to clean my PC's with. I seem to be going through about 12 cans a year and the prices to mount up. I have looked at the Datavac: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Datavac-Electric-Duster-ED-500-220-240V/dp/B003BZCOKK But being in the UK we seems to be charged over the top prices for this.

Does anyone have any other alternatives to the Datavac?

You could get a compressor? They're really not expensive, especially if you're going through that many cans a year. You can pick up a decent one for £80-100
 
Just get a small compressor and air nozzle. That is what I used when used to repair PCs for a job.
 
I can recommend a Black & Decker VH780. The rainforest has them listed.

After looking to get something similar myself I settled on one of these. The filter clogs very easily when used as a hoover but it's not a function I use regularly.

The blow on it is powerful enough to clean out my computer quite handily, more forcefully than a compressed air can. Loud though!
 
All the guys recommending a hoover are you serious?or are you just not worried about static electricity damaging your pc?
Serious question
 
Clean paintbrush and a vacuum cleaner. Canned air isn't required.

If you can, elevate your pc by about 6 inches (my desk has a shelf that hangs down from the top)
