I always thought Costco has a decent price on compressed air. You can buy a pack of 4 disposable cans of compressed air for $11 here in California and they are the larger cans not the smaller ones :)
Just check out your local stores. Just about any store has them, including Wal-Mart and Kmart.
i got a 10oz can for 4 bucks at walmart compared to 10, ya 10 bucks at staples, the 4 for 11 bucks at costco is the best, or try sam's club. or if u can get your hands on a industrial compressed air tank thingy (my brother-in-law is a contractor and has a big one, who needs cans when you that beast :D )
I've heard that normal compressed air can have a high moisture content..which wouldn't be too great.Quote:

Duster is basically a liquid refridgerant..I buy 1,1,1,2 tetrafluoroethane..no petroleum content, so I can use it in my airsoft guns also :p
Just buy a $30 air compressor like me and clean your case whenever you feel like it..:)
most cans say No moisture on them (at least if you don't turn them upside down and spray your friends neck with the liquid NOS, i know its not really NOS, but i prefer calling it that)
Using a regular air compressor on electronics is a BAD idea. No matter how low the humidity is in a given location, there will always be moisture in the compressed air.

Hahaha. That is always fun. I maybe get a few normal blasts of air before i am turning them upside down
ROFL, The first blast from a new can of air; is turning it upside down to freeze things. Its just so much fun.

You guys just are not having enough fun with the compressed air. Sure you can do a frozen spot on someone's butt, but that is no fun plus it hurts. Here is what you do:
1. get one of the plastic film cannisters
2. tear up some paper into tiny bits.
3. turn the compressed air upside down and do a good spray of the inside of the film cannister.
4. quickly shovel in the torn up paper
5. put the cannister top on quickly and put the film can on someones desk.
6. wait for the scream!
Photolab techs have just far too much time! Plus you can take the film cannisters and toss them into ceiling fans--that is always fun!
I don't happen to have any film canisters handy..what exactly happens?Quote:

The top blows off the cannister with a fairly loud pop and the little bits of paper go everywhere! Only do this to someone with a good sense of humor, or to your boss on the last day of work!
I have done that before. It really does make a loud pop. :)
If you really want to have fun with someone.
1. If you can get access to there home, place some lifesavers in the shower head. This will make them very sticky after a shower :)
2. Throw a can of original shaving cream in the freezer. Then in a day or two. Take it out, cut the can and remove the frozen shaving cream. Stash into a draw or desk and in a few hours it will expand (and I do mean expand!!!)
I have had a can of air fights. Where you run around blasting each other with the air.
In the good old days of Supervisor of the helpdesk. We went into the Email Admins office and glued all his CD's to the ceiling and place tape on his phone, cobweb the place and just went crazy!
Oh yeah and we taken his cans of air (keeping it on topic :D)
hmmm,
my college bookstore charges 15 for a 10oz can. thats some markup i do believe
Getting back to canned air.....
You can get free canned air from here until 04/05/03
Good to know but I'd be careful.. All the compressor based air I've ever used has had plenty of water in it..Quote:
