Compressed Air Duster

[mvitkun]

What do you use to clean your computer in places that are difficult to reach.

I'd like to clean out my power supply because it's been staying louder than i'm comfortable with, most likely due to a large amount of dust build up.

 

I do not want to open the power supply casing.

Just to be clear when I say what do you use,I'm asking for a link to the product you use.

I use a portable air tank that i can fill up with an air compressor. you could use a cheap electric tire pump to fill it.

@Mentalguy I need one of those.

I use this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OZ-Compressed-Air-Duster-Can-Cleaner-400ml-/111259551805?pt=AU_Laptop_Accessories&hash=item19e796083d&_uhb=1

But less than ideal as I constantly run out, cannot buy them locally and they are expensive.

you can get a small air-compressor fairly cheap, http://www.harborfreight.com/air-tools/air-compressors/3-gal-13-hp-100-psi-oilless-pancake-air-compressor-61615.html, use it when you need too and fill it back up and put it in your car.

I bought this....http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009ZVI1HY/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=419CPRZ90JL7&coliid=I2RFQS43VXVP4W last year november and i use one of these....http://www.amazon.com/eForCity-221132-Converter-Charger-Adapter/dp/B0069R0R10/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1400763012&sr=8-3&keywords=12v+adapter+to+ac+plug i got laying around in my spare parts/doodad box. 

 

Works like a charm but you will want to use a dust mask too because when the air comes out and blows the dust, it goes in the air and stays there for a bit. So you might want to do your dusting outside or by a neighbor....  

 

I also use a soft bristle unused paint brush to ensure all dust is removed.

well, any type of compressed air, i would take the casing off of the psu before hand because mine died, and when i opened it up, the spot where it failed was as easy to see as day, all the dust got piled up into a corner underneath the PCB in between it and the metal of the psu

Data vac air duster.

Constant, clean, filtered air. It was £90 which was expensive but worth it

I would never recommend those. Way too costly for what they are. for that price you can get a fair size compressor and be able to use it for thing other than dusting.
