On a related note, what kind of compressor would be useful for the times
when you want some air to blow away dirt, but can't do it yourself because
you can't focus your puff enough or don't want to spray saliva all over the
workpiece? Would a cheap tyre compressor do, or are those strictly for tyre
inflating?


You should be careful about using a "garage" compressor for cleaning the
internals of computers. Unless you have suitable processing, what you
think of as pure compressed air is potentially a mist of oil, water
vapour and dust. Do you really want to be spraying this over your
silicon chips?

If you're planning to clean a lot of computers, you might consider a
compressor which is designed for an air brush, e.g.:

Note the "oil free, water trap and air filter" bit.
