I was in CompUSA yesterday and saw these reusable compressed air cannisters. You refill it w/ a hand pump and each cannister is supposedly good for 100 refills.

It's supposed to shoot air at 100 PSI. I was looking at my Alpha HSF last night and there is alot of dust stuck on the pinfins. I would imagine that eventually the dust will affect the cooling ability of the Alpha.

You guys think that reusable air is enough to blast all the dust off?

Doesnt it go for like 35-40 dollars? At that point I have to wonder if just buying one of them compression tanks sears sells for 30 bucks with a compressor on it is better lol.

I go with Grey, the real deal, and I can use it for other things. However you have given me an idea: when my present can runs out I am going to install a nipple in the bottom & pump it up.

Very carefully... ;)

I've got a paintball gun with a 3000psi compressed air tank on it. I usualy dial it down to about 200psi and shoot some blanks into my case.

God save me the day i forget its loaded.

I think I will have to look into this. I use a lot of compressed air.
