They actually make something called "freeze spray" - it comes in the same size and shaped bottle as the keyboard cleaning stuff, though. Yeah, you get the same effect, but since freeze spray is designed for cooling rather than blowing, you could probably get more for your money or cooler temps. It's also antistatic.

Can't give you any product brand or where my team got it... look around - I'm sure you'll find it.
