If I bought something like this (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250-Psi-12v-Mini-Air-Compress...)

with this (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Air-Compressor-Duster-Dust-Re...)

Would I be able to get it to 80psi or so and then blow the dust away? I know some people use normal compressors but would it work or not?

Doubtful. Those little air compressors don't pump out a lot of volume.

Hi 3finnian
yes it will work just fine , just dont crank up the psi to high or get too close to components,
I repair pc's all the time and use a compressor to blow them out , i don't use a tyre inflator , but it is the same principle , you will be ok as long as
you are carefull

Yeah you can use the compressor to clean out the dust but don`t get too close to the components

Hi
I also use a compressor but I have tried a tyre inflator and it does not output a sufficient volume of air (volume is the critical factor not pressure) to blow out a PC which is also why they take a long time to inflate a tyre.So I think you will be dissapointed if you buy this.

I changed my mind, compressed air is £1 in poundland which just about works

i still swear by the air mattress pump, cheap, very controllable, never runs out of air or batteries,
