• Alternative to compressed air for cleaning PC?

Lets just say I don't have access to compressed air can. What else can I use to reliably clean dusts inside the computer?
I bought a 5 liter air compressor myself, it's way more cost effective in the long run, air cans are ridiculously expensive for some reason. Not sure if that helps you though since it's still air, but I'm pretty sure it's the most effective and safest way of cleaning dust from electronics, can you not buy the cans in Hong Kong or something?

Air compressors are fucking amazing tbh its really a good idea to have even a small one at home for keyboard/computer cleaning, tire filling, etc
An air compressor is a good idea only if you put a water trap on it. Still in the long run its a much better investment than canned air. Which is probably high for the same reason why you have to be 18 and older to buy it...
I saw in some pc stores they sell some brushes with ?air? Is that safe?
[QUOTE=hakimhakim;51599640]I saw in some pc stores they sell some brushes with ?air? Is that safe?[/QUOTE] An airbrush? Yeah, but again you still need a water trap. air compressors have this tendenacy to condense water and other impurities back into their liquid state.
