ok lets start it here..

i have a very dusty PC and decided to get CAC to blow away the dusts..

is it OK for me to do that on the electrical components?

i also plan to blow it through the holes in the PSU.. i was wondering whether will it affect the components..

whats the difference of using compressed air can & case fans

both have air passes through

& here i thought, that it will have such an effect on the electrical components!

lol

ok, so ur psu got a fan in it right

sucking air, letting air passes through

so whats the difference if u blow it using the compress air can?

c'mon, guess guess guess

yes, thats correct, its the same

(so ur line should be: "geee, why didnt i think of that b4")

now will it effect the components?

(ur next line: "oh my, it will not, how dumb am i")

I just use vacuum cleaner + small brush.

The jet from the compressed air can is much stronger than the fan. That's why it can push out the dust. Some people say that it might push dust bunnies into inaccessible places. Possibly causing a short. But I don't think it's any more likely than any other method of cleaning.

the air in the can is compressed, when you spray it decompress, and cools down. The lower temperature causes moisture in the air to precipitate out.

just ignore him .. BTW ts, i already used air compressed can since 2004.
and some advice, dont spray it on ur skin, ur skin will red and pain because the air output is very cold.
and if u want to spray at electronic component, spray it with proper distance, dont to close to a subject (u will see something like ice on ur electronic component) .

if you're on tight budget, maybe you can get a mini squeezer. it's a rubber bulb with a small openings at the end. Most people use it to clean their DSLR, but note that it's not as powerful as compressed air
