One of my pc's has a health check program, which supposedly checks the
pc for problems. The last time it ran, it gave me a message that the pc
should periodically be cleaned. I've been doing this with a vacuum, but
they suggested a can of compressed air. Cans of compressed air are
surprisingly expensive, so I started thinking of using my air
compressor, or a politician.

Would an air compressor work? I'm wondering if I can set it low enough
to insure the computer is not harmed.

Be careful when blowing compressed air near small cooling fans. I've had
them fail soon after a blowout because dust got forced into the bearings. I
usually open a window, put a fan in it exhausting the air from the room and
then blow out the PC so that all the dust gets sucked out the window.
