I can tell you, from personal experience(s), that dust accumulations inside a computer, over a period of time, will cause a heat build-up that will ultimately affect the operation of the computer. You can literally fry the computer…
It is important that any electronics you own, you should regularly clean the device of dust and debris. In the spring and fall, I disconnect my computer, remove the case entry cover, and blow out the dust and debris. I also clean the printer and keyboard on this same maintenance schedule. I use a can of compressed air to perform this task; however, I am now looking at another powerful option called the Metro DataVac Electric Duster 500 which features a 500 watt motor, .75 HP, 120 volt, 4.5 amps, 70 CFM air flow.
The Metro DataVac over a period of time will outweigh the initial cost; versus buying cans of compressed air over that same period of time. I can also see using this blower for other things as well, such as blowing up my inflatable boat and blowing out the air filters in the mower, car, etc… : )…

I have owned this unit for the past 5 years or so and use it somewhat frequently. Highly recommend!
G,
I am really thinking of grabbing one of these. I can see, if it is in fact as powerful as the reviewers say it is, using this for many things.
Glad to hear from you.

I have this as well, and I really like it. It’s great to take with me to a client’s and they are always impressed with it and usually make some comment along the lines of it being something a pro would have.
At home, though, I take the panels off, set it on a table and turn the leaf blower on it! it cleans way faster even than this does!
TusconMatt,
The leaf blower may be a little much (hurricane force winds – LOL)…

Well, mine has a variable speed control, so it’s not binary – off or 100mph!
Does a great job! I use binder clips to keep the fans from spinning out of control when using either blower device!
