Using an airbrush+compressor to clean dust out of computers

[IamTazak-47]

Hello all was wondering if anyone out there has experience using an air compressor to blast the dust out of pc's, i am so tired of using can after can of compressed air, damn customers wont clean the computers ever, anyway was thinking of an airbrush attachment if thats possible with a very small quiet compressor, any advice as in the pro's or cons and any recomendations for certain equipment would be appreciated, thanks.

I don't see why not. People have been using airbrush + compressor to clean dust off model kits for a while now. Obviously you have to take proper care to make sure you don't accidentally blow off any tiny, loose parts like jumpers.

Sure why not... but you don't need an air brush (it's a bit too fine and not enough cfm's). Get a small compressor from Princess Auto (great deals) probably under a $100 bucks with a fairly largish 'holding tank', I think there is a twin tank version... it holds a certain amount of air at X PSI while the other drains into it... and a simple air nossle with a hose would be good. For another $15 don't forget a filter on the output...

Then look at the neat air tools available, and you'll put up with the noise.
