If I bought something like this (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250-Psi-12v-Mini-Air-Compressor-12-Volt-/390525716548?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item5aed258844)

with this (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Air-Compressor-Duster-Dust-Removing-Gun-Blow-Blower-Cleaning-Clean-Handy-Tool-/291044778849?pt=UK_Air_Tools_and_Compressors&hash=item43c39ee361)

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?

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

i use an air matress foot pump like

it works great the little nozzle is great, you can really get a good blast if you stomp on the bellows.

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.
