I would not recommend this at all.

just go buy a can of compressed air to just pre-clean it before your air compressor arrives

I have one of these and it's great!

Quite powerful.  Plus, orientation doesn't matter, power doesn't trail off as the thing cools, it doesn't get cold an freeze your hand, and it never runs out so over time you will save a lot of money on cans of compressed air.

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

I don't know where you're finding them but they're certainly not that cheap here.  Regardless, the other benefits are also valuable.

Well those things are pretty expensive here (from the ones I can find) where as I've found compressed air for like 1.5 quid per can (400ml) so you know :P

Looks to me like they're pretty cheap: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ITdusters-com-EGP-COM-011-CompuCleaner-Electric-Duster/dp/B00S7CH6FK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466359814&sr=8-1&keywords=compucleaner

Go ahead just turn the heat off. People makes too much of a fuss.

It would have same issue than with vacuum cleaners. Static electricity. I wouldn't recommed putting it inside the case, but you could have it outside, with safety margin of maybe 10cm.
