Now go and check you computer processor and PSU fans ...


Way ahead of you there geoff. Did that 2 weeks ago. But a very valid
point. It's amazing how much ****e lodges in the heatsink fins and
PSU - and whilst most modern computers will safeguard the CPU, I
really don't like the potential fire risk of the PSU cooking itself...

The amount of air-in-a-can I get through keeping 4 comps clear 3-4
times a year almost makes it worth getting a compressor.


Its well worth getting a compressor Tim. I got one 6 or 7 years ago, a
'kit' jobby from SF for about £70. Used loads, nailer is invaluable, blow
gun great for all sorts of jobs; sawdust, moisture, blows up inflatable's,
adaptor for car tyres, bike tyres etc.

You would be amazed at how often you use one - once you have one.
