I hate dust , I like to keep my computer looking new so every month or so I take it outside and blow it off with a few cans of compressed air...I am tired of spending $$ for air. Over the last few years I must have spent hundreds of dollars on air.
I would like to find a good mini vacuum for this job..it need to be strong enough so that would suck the dust off of the fans inside a P/S , yet delicate enough that it can suck the dust off of my motherboard and other sensitive parts.

Thanks in Advance

I moved your other thread to the OT forum where it belongs, and sent you an email confirmation as well. There is no need to cross-post an identical thread in here.

Whoa , your nuts if you use shop air, condenced water builds up in those tanks and comes out with the air. Unless you own your own air compressor and know for sure it is dry AND have a quality in-line filiter on it then I would never use it.

I suppose if you let your computer sit for a few days after using the air you might be ok but I would not risk it.

I want a vacuum.

I have just the thing for you! go to a sewing machine store, or call around first to see if they have it in stock. It is an adapter hose with soft small brushes, to clean out sewing machines. it fits over your regular vacuum hose, and has an adjustment for volume:)
My wife got one, and needless to say, it has cleaned waaay more computers than sewing machines;)
