Indeed. If your computer is in an environment where blowing it out
more than every 6 months is necessary, move the computer or clean up
the environment.

Compressor is way overkill.

Disagree. I've used canned air several times on computers with
marginal results, then took a 40 PSI blow gun from a compressor to
the very same computer and blew out all kinds of residual crap that
the canned air couldn't touch.


There's a point at which you'll start blowing components off the
boards. I'm not sure where that point is and am not sure I'd want to
find out the hard way.

I have no idea what that point would be, but I have shot 125+ pounds of air
at all of my computers for years with not a single problem. If blowing
components off is a possibility then you've got bigger problems with the
computer you bought than the act of using compressed air to clean it.
