I hope you mean canned compressed air and not a shop compressor. Shop compressors do not dry the air and can spray water (unless you have an inline drier which is usually very rare in a home setup). Also, there can be a tendency to have the PSI set too high.

Yes, I meant the canned compressed air, readily available at any electronics store.

I second that. I have also tried a 3M brand version but it had something in it that made me gag.

From that product that CoasterMatt uses, the description says:

"NOW CONTAINS A BITTERENT TO HELP DISCOURAGE INHALANT ABUSE." haha

So what about Moonliner's compy? I've never heard of that video card, but the 4GB of SDRAM is making me drool.

Don't drool on the computers - that's one of the big rules around here

Well, I priced a Dell Vostro laptop yesterday (lusting) and put one together with a 2.0 dual core chipset and 4Gb of RAM for just over 1200....

The video card is an Nvidia Gforce 8500 card (if that helps). It's a middle of the road graphics card that I selected becuase it is a silent/fanless version that fits well with my Shuttle PC.

Wow is that all??? I think I am gonna finish paying off the TV tho before even thinking of getting another computer.... perhaps I should just see if I have the ability to upgrade my SDRAM (I currently have 2GB).

That actually is quite nice!!! Much better than the PC I got like a year and a half ago (which only has the Nvidia Gforce 6800... and runs quite well, even on newer games like Bioshock which is very graphically intensive).
