Warren,
I install hard flooring for a living, so I know what you just went
through. It's good to hear that you now have your own compressor, just wait
until the neighbors find out and recruit you to work on their floors.
lol
I have a very large stand up compressor that we got from an auto shop
when they went out of business. Since it's non-movable, I run a line over
to my workbench in the garage for this exact purpose. To use yours for
cleaning out a tower, desktop or laptop, you really don't need a whole lot
of pressure (try 20-30 lbs at first and adjust from there). The more
important part of the equipment is the nozzle you choose. Ideally, you'll
want an attachment that will both pinpoint the flow of air (>) and also
include a trigger that lets you use very short, targeted blasts wherever
needed. Also, it's extremely important that there be an inline moisture
trap (see thru glass jar) included on the main line coming from the
compressor so that any moisture buildup inside the tank doesn't come
spraying out of the nozzle onto your delicate computer electronics.
Depending on the size of your compressor, this trap will also make it easier
to see when it's time to empty excess water out of the tank.
Peace,
G
