You have to pump it by hand right? Unless your Hulk Hogan, I don't think you will be able to pump out enough pressure.

You'll have to get compressed air. You can find a can of compressed air at any electronics store, even Wal-Mart sells them. Or you could get a bicycle air tank, and fill it up with compressed air for few quarters.

bum4, you don't have a air compressor at all? One thats used to pump up car/truck tires with?

When your cleaning it, make sure to throughly clean the heatsink fins on all the heatsinks and blow the dust out of all your fans. If your fans have alot of crap in them, cleaning them out will also make your system alot quieter.

No, I don't have an air compressor.
I was going to use a Small Ball Pumper which I think it will work but I don't think it's strong enough. I think I should get an air compressed cans.
Thanks for all the help guys I think my problem has solved.

I hope that was a joke? =\ You could've/would've done some serious damage to your computer.



I suppose I'm the only one who found this amusing then. *Shrugs*

That's my warped sense of humor prevailing.

Toilet Humor? Okaaay.......

Come on. Seriously. Could have? That is like saying that I could bust a tire if I run up on a curb. That is like saying that a buggy could run into my car in a mall parking lot. That is like saying that a cut could get infected.

It is one of those things that could happen, but they rarely do. Especially if your carefull, and minimize the risk.

I use an electric duster about once every three months.

There's a chance that you damaged some inside components. As Monster_user said though, you've most likely not damaged anything, but from now on used compressed/canned air.

Electronic components DO NOT like static charges - something that dusters literally buzz with. (Ever shocked yourself after walking along a dry carpet and then touching a metal doorhandle? Same principle.) Vacuum cleaners also accumulate lots of static charge, so using one of those to clean your PC with isn't a great idea either.

Compressed air is the best thing for the job. I happen to have an air compressor in my garage so it takes me all of 10 minutes to spray all the crap out of my case. If you're using canned air, however, it may well take longer.
