    I'm looking for some cheap cans of compressed air, the type you would use to clean your PC. Cheapest I found was €14 for 4 cans on Amazon except they dont ship it to Ireland.

    Elsewhere I'd have to pay €10 or more for one can!

    Thanks.

    If it's possible for you to move the parts you need to use the air on then bring them to the car garage and give em a spray with the compressed air there ;) Had to find compressed air quick before and it worked a charm

    Isn't the compressed air in car garages really powerful? Might cause damage to the parts I would have thought?

    Really? Was in there today and could have picked one up :(. Probably the cheapest in a bricks and mortar shop?

    The type of compressors used in garages use a lubricant that mixes with the air as it comes out of the machines. It is not good for cleaning PC parts.
