I just ordered one of the California Air Compressor 1.0 hp 2.0 gal. compressors. My son was very happy to get the old pancake compressor despite the incredible amount of noise it makes.

I bought my airbrush compressor on Feebay about 8 years ago for around $100 including airbrush (turned out be a decent airbrush surprisingly). It included a vapor trap, regulator and auto shut off. I did end up adding a 1 gallon tank to it buffer the airflow for it becuase you could see it pulse when airbrush was directly connected to compressor. The additional tank and hardware was about $50. Its very quiet and sits under my work bench.
