| I was able to get a Craftsman Evolve compressor with a finish nailer and a bunch of accessories for $60 on sale. I'm not sure if its the best for airbrushing but it does the job for me so far. Considering I bought it to do the trim on my entire house (before I got into airbrushing) it was definitely worth the money for me.
I'm sure the other guys here will give you some better suggestions but if you are looking for a cost-effective/general purpose compressor, this one has done well for me so far.

Location: Okoboji | using a small tank compressor is fine if you want to deal with the pump kicking on to fill the tank (pretty noisy) and the surge in pressure when it does.
save your money and get a decent iwata compressor or the like that senses when you shoot, they are near silent and provide a smooth constant flow of air. after i switched it was a worlds of difference.

Location: WI | Agree with kodiak. Airbrush compressors are quiet and much better at dialing in low pressures. Look at a badger compressor. I have two that have never failed me.
