I am looking for a air compressor to clean my computer. I found out they cost somewhere abour 10k(INR) but I found this portable one for only 500(INR)bucks.
Its so cheap. I think I can get a nozzle separately and attach it.
But will this work
Here is the link

I don't want to damage my computer. Last time I tried using a vaccum cleaner to blow it and my system started giving me intermittent problems and both stick of Ram became faulty.

I then learned that a blower is not good but an air compressor is a better choice.
Too much dust here.

Please advise
Thank you

Sorry for the late reply I forgot my password. Thanks for the link. I think one can use a air compressor. bad news is that I found this one that I was looking at does not blow air that way. I may have to shell out atleast 15 times the price for a decent one.
I can't use cans cause dust collects frequently like almost every week. My are is really dusty.
I don't know where it comes from.
So was looking for a reusable solution don't mind a one time investment.

Sorry for the late reply. Could not remember my login
Yeah i figured that out. But using a cans would be expensive I need to be dusting out my computers atleast once a week to keep it beloved patriot and span. Too much dust in my area so was looking for a solution that would not cost me everytime and compressed air cans are very costly here in my country.(ihave to import it so works very costly
Even for a one time use its not worth the money An 8oz can cost 900 bucks.

use a vacuum and anti-static brush, all the nasty allergens, dead skin, tobbaco ash etc will be inside the bag and not blown around the room and inside you. compressed air can blow debris into places where it shouldn't be and thermal paste from where it should be.

Thanks, I do that first but still inside the fans there will be dust especially in the SMPS so for that I needed something. And I am scared brushing everything. Yeah I tried searching for antistatic brush but could not find any I just found a plastic brush that did not create static when rubbed against wool so I use that. So for spots I can't touch I need the Spray...BTW I clean my computer outside the house always.
