I agree with the comment about static electricity. I understand the concern about moisture, and what I will do is leave the computer open so the moisture dries. This is a good suggestion though.

@woodchips you are absolutely right. That solution is brilliant. I am definitely going to use it.

>The first part will be to put a hose onto an inner tube. I don't know what thread an inner tube valve is, so I would go to my local hardware store and get them to help me find a nipple with the proper thread. Would I need to do that if I am using a tank? It sounds like that would be a tire, no?

My only question is, if I get an air tank, how do I know when it reaches full capacity when filling it. I don't want to burst it...should that even be a concern?

P.S. My desire to not use a depletable resource is not really for 'green' purposes. It's coupled with being frugal and hating waste (although, you can argue that's 'green'). But I love this solution, really do.

This is brilliant. This makes total sense too....because the thing is, I don't live in the US. So I was going to buy it online and ship it to a friend who is coming down. Now, though, I might just buy the hose and the attachments I need and go that route. Thanks! P.S. Any suggestions for hoses?

that's exactly what I am trying to do - except I don't know the companies to look for.....it's why I am here :)

This is what I usually use...but, I don't want to have to keep buying a new can when I use it. I want to find a small machine that will function just like this. You are absolutely right about the tank - which is why I came here to find out if anyone knew of any suggestions :)

I am not dusting anything like a car...it literally is my computer (keyboard and inside the case + my hobby R/C car). I would just buy a canister of compressed air, but I hate the thought of depleting a non-renewable resource (i.e. I will have to buy a new can after X number of sprays). I would rather get something that just requires electricity to be renewed.

That does look like something I would want, but it's way too bulky and expensive. Is there nothing smaller that I can get my hands on, within the price range of the others?

Redo it as an answer, perhaps change the wording a bit?

@DaveNay I just checked that, and that's exactly the reason. I re-adjusted the blades and they now work like a charm. If you write an answer to that end, I will accept it.
