I would cool my system because I am afraid of damaging my system with heats.

 

[Demon_Skeith]

I'd cool my system, to the point it wouldn't get damaged due to the mostiure. But thats about it.

 

[Grungie]

Not worth, I spent money on that.

I think a dehumidifier and air conditioner can help remove moisture.

But, I heard cold temperatures can also increase the chance of static electricity damaging electronics when someone touches electronics.

Dehumidifiers aren't worth it, way too much upkeep work.

Dehumidifiers also use a lot of electricity as well, and they can be noisy.

I heard there is a moisture remover product called DampRid which absorb water from the air, and the water drop into a bucket at the bottom of the package of Damprid. But, Damprid is kind of expensive, and takes longer to remove water from the air.

Cool, Yes keep things as much cool as you can. That's the best and safest option. Not making it a heat box unless it's a -700c winter

you also have to clean them and empty the water they gather, it is a pain.

Cleaning the dust filter is can be annoying if you turn the dehumidufier ON a lot.

Some Dehumidifiers have a hose attachment, so you can place the hose in a bathtub or shower drain to avoid draining the water bucket.

dust filter? Not that, the whole dehumidifer itself, it does get moldy from all that water buildup.

I think if the dehumidifier is occassionally turned-off, your room's heater or heat fron the sun may dry up the water buikdup with the heat from a heater or the sun.

The water goes into a tank, so it’s pointless to wait for it to evaporate, if it evaporates.

I don't think it will ever evaporate. It would have to be crazy hot for that to happen. When we used to have a dehumidifier, we had to empty the tank once in a while.

By the time it dries out... if it dries out, it’s going to collect mold, so you gotta clean it regardless.

 

[JoyFreak]

I hate cheating, really defeats the point of gaming and challenging one's self.

But then again my house got really damp feeling, ruined two packs of gum....
