They have been using cleanable filters on computers since before you were born and have never had a problem with moisture. You have to remember that the air coming off a "damp" filter probably does not have any more moisture than room air on a muggy day unless you are in a clean room and then you wouldn't need the filters. > Bye, > Skybuck ;) =D > >

Would it be so bad? Oh wait, why not get extra dust filters so > you can rotate them out for cleaning... I thought about the idea of extra dust filters... might be a nice idea for antec in the future ! Why didn't they think of it ! ;) :) I would still like to know the answer to my question: What happens if the air in the room is moisterish... for example... suppose I take a shower... and there is this gas burning near the pc... lot's of gasses being burned and expelled into the air... What will the effect of burned gas be on for example the asus motherboard ?!? I am beginning to suspect that the asus motherboard in combination with burned gasses, some moisture and heat... is corroding or so... ?!? Bye, Skybuck.

Mother boards and related equipment have environmental ratings that tell you the maximum humidity and temperature they will tolerate. Exceed that and you run the risk of condensation and corrosion. Condensation on high frequency high impedance circuits can bring your computer down right now, blammo, and stay down until it dries. Just putting a finger across some of these traces will crash your computer. Extended exposure to moisture can cause corrosion that can eventually kill your computer, though you would have to run it in a sweathouse to get that to happen. The heat inside of the case is usually enough to keep moisture from condensing under most circumstances. A moist dust filter and the temporary increase in humidity is not likely to hurt anything. And if you put your computer in your oven, then it isn't the burned gasses that will kill it... |
