Compressed Air

[FireFox]

Hey Guys,

 

I'm looking for some compressed air and was wondering if anyone knows of any that is pretty powerful because I've bought some off of eBay which was OK but just didn't have that much power behind it.

 

Anyone know of any brands that I could look for?

be careful with off the shelf air compressors. They might not have a moisture filter and you could be spraying small amounts of water onto your parts.

an air compressor...

With PSI regulation or safe distance.

if your looking for a small one, go to a modelling forum they know a lot about them

an air compresser would work too

This too. Be sure to drain the tank and have a moisture filter.. Totally forgot about this.

I would rather buy something that is certified for use in PC's

But where is the fun in that?  you need 160psi at 1 inch distance.

Only 160? That's like, nothing at all. 9001 bruh, c'mon

Those things you use to pump air into a tire 

or compressor

or air tube can

With that kind of psi you could cut custom designs into all your parts.

a portable air compressor, without reservoir

I use a Nuair Miny myself. Loud as hell because the pump is running all the time due to the lack of a reservoir, but I'm perfectly happy with the amount of air it pushes out.

pfffft. The Manly Way to clean anything is a power washer. Great for all the household cleaning chores. Gutters, dusting house plants, pets, EVERYTHING. It will even take care of those hard to remove metal tracings on the PCB's.

 

But if you want to wimp out, an air compressor will do.

A couple of things I should say, is if you do decide to go with a small air compressor:

 

If you are using a compressor with a tank, as others have said you need to drain the tank before each use and make sure you have a moisture filter.

 

Additionally, you want what is called an oilless compressor. Spraying a fine mist of oil all over your computer would be worse than a fine mist of water.

I thought it was the other way around, isn't oil non-conductive?

I don't think there is such thing as an air compressor made for PCs.... Canned air will do good for small areas you can't get to normally with an air compressor.

That's why you pressurize it and then open the little moisture drain valve at the bottom of the tank.

Canned air is what I meant, I should have made it more clear in the title.

I just get a £5 can off Amazon. Make sure to get the price to £10+ otherwise with postage a £5 can of air is £12.

Lol, then yeah get some canned air. Not much to look for just make sure you get enough, running out of air SUCKS when your trying to dust out your PC.

A better investment than canned air. More powerful, and cheaper in the long run.

Seriously? I knew internet shopping was popular but why would you get canned air online????

Because there's no shops around my town that sell it and I'm not travelling 20 miles just to get something I can buy online.

Why not just save money in the long run and get an air compressor?
