Actually, I don't think you want entirely dry air, as moving, dry air, can and will cause static electricity. Oil would definitely be a nono, however. And, I'm assuming you have all power off any equipment you're blowing out (power cord removed, for example). I've often used my home/shop type air compressor for blowing out systems, so far, never had a problem caused by it (and several CD drives "repaired" by it... :) Perhaps if we knew why you need/want something that might otherwise be considered overkill, vs. buying canned air at Costco or other lower cost place, would help us in our suggestions?
