You can get very small compressors. I have a little one here, that is
about the size of a vacuum cleaner, with a tiny reservoir, which works
quite well. However the problem with the airline, is that the dust you
blow off the unit, ends up going somewhere. Personally, a vacuum cleaner,
with a long haired soft brush is the 'better' solution. You just brush the
inside of the computer, the fan blades, etc., and the dust is removed from
the machine, and your workplace.
