So I was doing some yardwork with the leafblower and it occurred to me that I was out of canned air and I need to clean my comp so and I was holding leafblower and putting 1 and 1 together I got an idea. So cleaning comp with leafblower is it a good idea or bad idea?

Discuss.

Well I myself have a 2200 dollar comp, so I probably wouldn't. Although it might work, just make sure you have it on low power and don't do anything stuipd.

I say not good idea.

Compressor,yes.

So it's not good to use a vaccuum to suck out dirt?

Compressed air pose hazard not many people think about!

Most untreat air have moisture and oil if compressor pump use (liquid) oil lubrication system.

Static trail build up from air flowing through normal butyl line hose can charge conductor trace in system to over 1kV enough to cause damage!

So if you want low risk, use PROPER equipment! Inert gas such as argon/nitrogen/carbon dioxide work with approve system of delivery. Never use more than 6 bar pressure! If pressure at hose higher use safety tip. Treated air (-40C dewpoint) should pass through polonium static removal tip to prevent ion transfer to sensitive onboard equipment.

Really this should be common sense to train person!

go for it.

only thing to worry about is spinning a fan too fast and burning up the bearings or something flying out of the blower.

Yeah. I was taught this in my computer tech class.

WTF does that matter? Ignorant moron. He gave a more detailed educated answer than anyone else here. Or was it the fact you could not think of anything yourself, that you had to try and bring down the only person on here who was actually able to give an educated answer?
