Switched from compressed air to a Metro Datavac for cleaning PCs

I got tired of buying those cans of compressed air that run out halfway through a job. Picked up a Metro Datavac Electric Duster ED500 last month for about $70. No more condensation issues and it pays for itself after maybe 10-12 PC cleanouts. Anyone else make the switch or still sticking with the cans?

Yeah Simon called it, I bought one and now my office just thinks I'm blowing dust bunnies at them.

Honestly yeah, I was skeptical dropping that much on a glorified leaf blower but now I won't even think about touching my PC without it. The amount of dust and crap it blasts out of radiators and PSUs is insane, stuff that canned air just blows around. Plus not having to buy those stupid cans every month or worry about them getting cold or running out mid-clean is a game changer. Once you factor in how many cans you'd go through in a year or two it really does end up cheaper in the long run. Just wish I bought one sooner instead of fighting with dusty components for years.
