Paying over 10 bucks a bottle @any computer store seems like a rip off.

Where do you guys buy yours?

I got tired of paying for can air & ended up with a 4 gallon compressor, 25' hose, blow gun, and brad nailer for $199 CAD.

Cheap oil less compressor can be had for for $39.94, or 5-10 gallon air tank that can be fill at gas/air station can be had for $30-50.

air compressor air has moisture in it - canned air doesn't

Can air is a liquid and it expand/boil when contact with room temperature and can damage (freeze) parts if spray to the part at close distant for a long duration. Compress air does have water in it how ever most of the moisture condense and pool at the bottom of the tank, therefore bleeding the air/water out at the bottom after each use will prevent most if not all of water spray onto the parts. Compress air is normally use at electronic shops to dust parts....nitrogen or CO2 tanks can be rented from welding shop for as little as $1 per month if moisture is a concern.

Yeah I too use an air compressor. I blow computers out before bringing them in to work on them. It's amazing how much crap they can accumulate.
