[colug-432] What do you guys use to chase away dust bunnies?

[Ed Liddle]

I have heard of people using a battery operated leaf blower to blow
the dust out of computer cases outside.  I use a portable air
compressor with an inline water filter on it. If I am inside I
carefully use a vacuum cleaner with a hose on it, I haven't thought of
coupling that with a brush though.
