You would need both an oil remover and a regulator. The normal operating pressure is more then high enough to damage the computer, especially the fans. You can also put a fine film of oil because this type of compressor is oil lubricated. Some of the oil gets in the compressed air. This is good for air tools, but bad for computers. If you want to use an air compressor, consider one designed to be used with air brushes. This is a much cleaner air supply.
