Computer Case Dusting with Small Air Compressor

[Leon@rd]

Would this work to clean a computer? I'm looking for something powerful like the compressed/canned air dusters, but cheap and resuable. This setup would cost about $20. I'm wondering if all parts would fit okay or if there would be any other issues as the air compressor is tiny. Thanks.

Compressing air forces the moisture out as a liquid into the bottom of the tank. Unless that mini compressor has a water trap / dehydrator in the line and a water drain valve (like all the larger units) you will be occasionally spraying your electronics with droplets of water. Not a good idea.

Thank you. I guess I'll stick with canned air for now.

Been using a compressor to clean PC's for years, never a drop.
Probably has something to do with the fact that I empty the airtank after use.

The compressor pictured above doesn't have a tank, guess you wouldn't run into any water problems with that either.
