Back in the day, I swore by canned air for cleaning out PCs.

I used to go through a case a month at my old shop in Tacoma. Then I tried a cheap electric blower, the kind for blowing up air mattresses. The canned air just moved dust around and froze up, but the blower actually gets it all out in one go. It's faster and I haven't bought a can in over a year. Anyone else make a switch like that for basic cleaning jobs?

Wait, so you're telling me I've been huffing canned air for no reason?

Used to think it was just air too until I saw a video of someone spraying it upside down. The liquid that comes out freezes stuff instantly. Made me look it up, turns out it's a bunch of chemicals that are really bad to breathe in. Totally changed how I see those cans now.

Yeah that stuff is just compressed air. Not even the good kind.
