where can I buy air-in-a-can


Recommended Posts

I need to blow out the fans on my laptop with some compressed air, but I don't know where to buy it.

Radioshack, Homedepot and Bestbuy don't carry it. Anyone know a major retailer or a place near Oakland, CA that sells it?

radioshack and best buy doesn't have? They always carry it by me. How about an office supply store like staples/officemax/office depot?

hmm... well, i have gotten idiotic help at best buy and radio shack before.

Costco seems like the best bet, since i have a card there.

Also, the suggestions of an office supply store were good- i hadn't thought of those- thanks!

Radioshack by me has it and I work at BB and I know we have it too.

It's possible that the "canned air" is illegal in your area.... If so, you won't find any at any store

I wouldnt be suprised, its not actually air (as in oxygen,nitrogen,etc.) its um... difluroethane (or atleast the stuff i have is). Maybe its harmful to the ozone.

this is kinda a dumb idea but you /could/ go to a gas station and get a screw driver to open the valve on those free air things(for filling up your tires/tanks/etc). Then again you would have to lug your pc out to do it...cheaper though :-/

I'd need a needle point to use one of those air compressors, since I only want to blow out the fans and not spread dust all over everything.

I hope canned air is legal here, cuz I use it at work every day.
