I use a Cambell-Hausfeld Quiet Air aircompressor with a 2 gallon tank. It shuts on and off automatically, and can put out up to 100 psi. but is adjustable, so IF you wanted you could spray at 1psi. it has a water release at the bottom of the tank, but i also use another water trap where my hose hooks up. It wasn't expensive either, i can't remember exactly what i spent on it, but it was about $90 something i think, just for the compressor, but i bought about $20 in other accessories for other uses. it works great for my aibrush, i've had no problems with it. It's really quiet, if you used it in your room, more than likely no one else will hear it. and if so, it's not loud enough to bother anyone. I got it at Wal-Mart over in the automotive section. Cambell-Hausfeld Quiet Air. It even advertises being used with an airbrush on the box. it's a great compressor.

So I take it you have a tank connected to it, which you bought seperately, plus a regulator? How loud is the compressor while it's running?

No. I bought everything together, it had a tank and a regulator already on it out of the box. all you will have to buy is the compressor and that's it. everything else comes with it, assuming you already have an air hose for your airbrush. It has 1/4" fittings so the stuff you have will fit on it. It's really quiet as well. More than likely, you can just shut your door and not disturb anybody in the next room. plus it shuts off automatically and doesn't run all the time. and when you get to 100psi. just turn the switch off and just run from the tank. Its 2 gallons, so it lasts for a while. It works great for me. you may find a better one at a lower price, but it's a pretty good setup. i also connected a moisture trap onto it to make sure all the moisture is out. it has one in the tank. it's a release valve at the bottom that's supposed to collect the water, but i put another one on anyway. it was free, i got it from work, so what the hell.
