yep and i don't need no stinking moisture filter h: it's only a 4gallon :chuckles: i don't keep any pressure in the tanks unless i need it.

i figure a can of computer cleaning compressed "air" is like $4 a can. it probably costs me $.10 to fill my 4gallon tank to 100psi (regulated down to 25-30psi) and i can clean all of my laptops and pcs h:

Every 6 months or so when I clean of my desk. I just steal cans of compressed air from our IT guy.

I didn't have any compressed air, i just went to the kitchen, got a bendy straw and blew all the shit off the heat sink. I wiped everything down, and gave it a once over with the straw.

Just 2 nights ago I ripped mine apart and vacuumed all the dust out. There was so much it was disgusting. However, I need to replace my power supply with a higher wattage one, and 2 chassis fans sound about done.

I clean mine probably...once a year.

I need to take apart my laptop and give it a good cleaning. Its been running really hot lately. Thats what happens when you have 2 cats and take your laptop with you everywhere.

I'm surprised no laptop company has put removable screens on laptops. Like air filter screens.

PC's always collect dust on the floor. Walking creates lots of it. $#!† rolls downhill and ends up on your heat sinks.

+1 on the moisture trap. I have 3 laptops that cost over $3000 each, and I'd never use an air compressor on any of them.
