Generally i would advice being very careful using a compressor to clean your pc  I would go for the one with the lowest pressure just to be safe. |

| You must be getting ripped off on compressed cans of air for you to justify that cost of air compressors (which seem to go around $100 from your links). |

| I use a compressor all the time to blow out electronic components. Just make sure to hold the fan/s in place so they don't over rotate and mess the motor up. If you blow out your electronic components a couple times a month 2 cans is like $8-10 so it will pay for itself over a couple years. And they usually last a long time. Ive had my compressor for about 8 years now. |

I don't know how often you have to clear the dust off your PC, but if the cans are really too expensive, I'm guessing you clean way too much. You should invest in dust filters instead of a compressor. I clean mine (interior) less than once a year so a can lasts me a long time. I still have the 2nd can I got 3-4 years ago.
You will clean the filters more often (every 3-4 months), but you clean them with your hands or with water. |

would be careful using an air compressor to clean your computer as they can contaminate with oil/water
oil is used to lubricate the compressor pistons and crank and water is present in the air and condenses in the
tank filters are an option but a good one costs, |

buying an air compressor will be cheaper than buying can after can after can.
either you're letting your pets use your desktop as some sort of toy, you're overly anal about cleaning it, or you're getting ripped off on your air. just go on ebay and buy a job lot of cans.Last edit: 2012-08-12 19:04:45 |

You can also buy a cheap air filter from the hardware store and cover all the holes in your computer with it to keep the amount of dustings you need to do down. Your temperatures will rise though.

| I got confused by the term Vacuum. But I guess it blows air too, or the Metro Vacuum is just a brand name I dunno. |

| Mate, go down to your local hardware or gardening store and buy one of those hand pump up sprayers. Not too much pressure and cheap. |

Its hard to hold a video card in your hand and pump one of those at the same time.
EDIT: Unless you are talking about one of those devices where you charge up the pressure like a super soaker. Those are good.Last edit: 2012-08-13 16:09:05 |

| The Metro DataVac has been touted by many as one of the best air cleaning/compressor devices that can be used to clean on your PC. |
