I got the bright idea to blow the dust out of a computer with my 60 gallon shop air compressor and capri tools windstorm ex air gun.

Now I'll get to clean it really well when I take it apart to replace the fan that it blasted one of the blades clean off of.

Learn from my mistakes.

Make sure you're holding the fans still while you're blowing them! Spinning fans generate a voltage and can fry stuff they're attached to.

Never ran into that problem before, thanks. A still fan blade would have been even more likely to break under the air pressure.

That specific blow gun uses Bernoulli's Principle to blow even more air than the compressor output and creates a TON of air flow.
