so... let me get this straight- man asks for recommendations for an air compressor, to blow out old dirty PC's filled with drywall dust, detritus and what not, everyone begins discussing the finer points of the potential damage that can be caused by static electricity, moisture and aerosolized oil vapor, never mind it's already full of heat insulating dust . I answer the question asked. you take me to task for answering his question, recommend an even more bizarre rube goldberg contraption of nitrogen tank, alluding to the purity of nitrogen and your superiority at having used it, then, in the same email, recommend that he huffs dirty moisture laden lung air onto the oh-so-dainty sensitives of electronics? _Lung power_ is your answer to a reasonabley priced oil / moisture trap on a reasonably priced compressor? sheesh.. back at you. Sometimes people just want a recommendation, not a lecture on the finer points of care and feeding of old crappy PC's. Besides, he can use it to blow out his garage and fill his tires. Try that with your lungs or canned air. C. -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
