compressed air

I have owned a i5150 since December and I think I might just have started noticing a slight bit more of the heat problems I see people talk about in here  these days than there used to be. (typically when I first got it when I started up it ran at like 28C before I really did anything and would stay at or below 32C at idle most times {please note that I'm talking about running it at half the full power, i.e 1.6GHz}) But now it typically runs at minimum 36C - 45C when not doing much and on rare occations @60C or more when doing a lot of processing.

I said all that basically to say Ive seen people recommend compressed air... but I was wondering where exactly could I purchase compressed air from?

    You can get that from almost any computer store like compusa or bestbuy, also staples and office max
