If the air from a poof-can was enough to damage a computer case, heat sink, video card, etc.. cooling fan the fan should not have been used to start with. In 30 years I've not seen a single fan, heat-sink, etc... damaged from the standard store bought poof-cans, even using the little wand that comes with them. > > Again, I'm saying to just LIGHTLY spritz the feather duster, NOT saturate it. > The idea is to give the dust something to hold onto.

Oil will transfer to the fan causing it to collect MORE dust more quickly, and I say this from 30 years of experience. Why do you think that the Navy uses a light sprits of OIL on the metal filters in duct-work on ships - because IT ATTRACTS DUST. > I'm talking from personal experience.

Professionally, I always used the can of air method - haven't you guys ever used that old standby? (spit shines and air compressors - sheesh <rolls eyes>)
