Hi Frank.

Please forgive my ignorance, but where can I get a can with compressed
air like that, and are they fairly cheap, or fairly expensive?

Also, since we're on the topic of heatsinks and so on, can anyone tell
me how to get a fan off a slot1-type cpu? On the front of the cpu
where the fan is, there are these 4 round tabs on each side that seem
to be movable, but I've never been able to figure out how to disengage
them to make the fan release from the processor. Thanks in advance.

Greg
