I live in a pretty cramped in sharehouse and there is a shower in my room, directly next to the shower is my desk with my PC on it. Could the steam from the shower damage my pc? If so is there anyway I can prevent this? (ie cover my pc with a blanket of some kind when I have a shower to reduce the condensation (if that even works like that)). I know this is a potentially idiotic question but I just wanna game after work, man… thanks guys,
Also, there is a ceiling shower fan that I have turned on whilst I shower, although i doubt that helps much as sometimes I exit the shower and my mirror will be foggy for a while. I only just got my computer out of storage now.
At my work(meat processing plant), we had a standard PC(dell optiplex to be exact) in a small kiosk in the middle of the hall. Inside, there was a looooooot of moisture due to condensation and leakage(the halls are sprayed with detergents and water after every shift).
The power supply died twice and the motherboard once, it was in a timestamp of 3 years
So basically yeah, the moisture is able to damage a computer, but if the room isnt damp 24/7, then it shouldn’t be a VERY likely scenario.
If you can, move the computer somewhere else just to be 100% sure.
