Anyone used one of these?:

If so are they any good at removing case dust? The aerosol air dusters always run the risk of discharging liquid and run out too quickly!!

Just whip the dyson out, I always do - use the nozzle with the brush end on and dont press to hard. Done this for years and it works great. That looks like a gimick!

I use a toner vac. Not cheap though.

get a plastic bottle, around 18" of flexi air ducting of the same diameter (http://www.victorpyrate.com/images/flex-air-ducting.jpg) and some duct tape..

cut the middle 2/3rds out of the bottle and tape the remaining top and bottom to either end of the air ducting, job done.

I use an anti-static brush and a PC mini-vac.

Go outside on a windy day and God may do the work for you.

I'm sure on my gravestone it will read "He died working on pc's. It was the dust that got him!"

Works brilliantly for its intended use, blowing dust from the inside of a SLR cavity.
