My gut reaction is absolutely not.

it would have to be filtered, and it would have to have low enough pressure to not harm anything, and it would have to be completely sure that it wouldn't give off ESD.

For $50 there's a computer "vacuum" (really a blower) that does one heck of a job, and is perfectly safe, costs way less than compressed air in the long run, and does a better job.

This one? http://www.amazon.com/Metro-Vacuum-ED500-500-Watt-Elect...

Seems well priced at $60.

Yep, that's the one. Absolutely worth it when you consider how quickly cans of compressed air lose their oomph.

No wonder why my canned air barely blows anything.

Thanks!

Yeah, I tend to go through cans almost ridiculously fast. I like the "industrial" cans, because they have more force behind them and last a little longer, but they're more expensive and even worse for the environment...
