Air Duster aerosols?
 
Had to buy one of these for £3.99 from Maplins. They had bigger ones for £7.99, but it struck me that this was pricey. Am I wrong? Is there a cheaper place to purchase these aerosols for future reference?

Judging by what Viking are asking, it seems an OK price......

Be careful how you use these. Often they can blow dust totally out the way, but then blow it somewhere else where you dont want it.

you could always buy a cheap air compressor for say blowing up paddling pools,the air does no blow out violently but enough to clear a system.
Also when I spring clean my pc I strip it down so the dust is not just blown somewhere else in the case

Why pay for air when it is free?

A good bit of blowing always does the trick for me. :D

Hair dryer on a cool setting is free as well :)

Enjoy a curry and then wait about 24hours for free effective cleaning and life killing smell to follow.

Kills two birds with one stone, clean pc and no creepy crawlies left over.

got to be careful doing that , there is i imagine the potential for water / oil to get through the compressor :disturbd:

Yeah, I'd recommend stripping down before giving it a good blow. Much more effective like that.

when using an airduster today i picked it off the shelf and the top thing mysteriously broke off causing all the air to start rushing out. I fooled about with it trying to get the top back on but it continued to blast out air so i found myself foolishly airdusting everything in sight before the damn thing ran out of air :mad:

I got my last two from PC World on clearance. Very expensive and only do it every few months.

They are very good for light shades.
