    Recently the air in my room has been very dry, I decided I need a humidifier (device that puts moisture into the air) but just to make sure do you think that the humidifier could damage my computers? Why waste time learning when ignorance in instantaneous -Hobbes

        it would take a huge humidifier to damage your computer. just think of a humid day in the summer (90% humidity, 90F). if your computer can take that, it can take whatever a humidifier can put out. -c

              er, humidity % is dependant on tempreture - so check the % at whatever your room temp is - warmer air can contain more water... i.e. 50% at 50F will contain less water than 50% at 80F end of lesson ;P

                Eh, can you add a bit more explanation? I never got this: 100% humidity in my (poor) understanding should be a nice environment for fishes, but yet its still air. :confused:

                    The percentage is not the amount of water, but the air's ability to contain water. 100% is the maximum of water the air can take - something dependent on air temperature. So at 100% humidity, additional water will start condensate. (as this is a complex process, humidity can even rise above 100%) With rising temperature, air can take more water, thus 100% humidity at 12°C is much less than 100% at 32°C.


                    As James Bond in "die another day", Pierce Brosnan features traits handy in the dawning millenium. He fights without hesitation in a bewildering environment, trusts his high-tech-gadgets, and rather falls for beauty than pondering the political absurdities around him.  [sighist]

                      Provided you don't have brown thumbs (as opposed to green !) a few plants might make the difference, plus make a nicer room. Elaine (fluffy tigress emoticon) The tigress is here :-D

                        er. so what? my point is that if a computer can happiliy exist in 90F @ 90%, a consumer humidifier at 70F isn't going to affect it at all. -c

                                I don't know where you keep your computer, but down here in the southern United States (where we get 90% RH and 90°F) we keep our computers inside where it is air conditioned...It is the refrigerators that we keep on the front porch :laugh: Gary Kirkham A working Program is one that has only unobserved bugs I thought I wanted a career, turns out I just wanted paychecks
