I have this air conditioner issue and small room.Once in a rainy night with the ac turned on everything was moist inside my room including my pc.There was moisture all over my screen & also the back of it.I didn't open the cabinet to check whether the inside was wet or not but outside of cabinet was wet.I turned on my pc after 9 hrs of that incident.Right now it is running fine but i fear if it has any long lasting damaging effect over my pc.Some guys are saying it may decrease the longevity of my GPU and all.Don't know what to do!

Very bad it could kill the whole pc. That said that is very strange the AC is supposed to take moisture out of the air it acts as a dehumidifier. Is it really dry or really humid where you live?
Hi
Nothing you can do about what happened in the past.
Provided you leave power off for sufficient time for moisture to evaporate or dry out you should be ok
(Not clear how long you need to leave system off for)
There is a risk to hard drive if this happens regularly
( hard drive has vent hole and is not sealed)
The psu is effectively on when plugged in so should be unplugged or switched of by switch on psu or wall socket when PC not in use

Yeah,the psu was unplugged from the wall while the incident happened.I only turned the pc on after 9 hours and also i made sure everything was dry.But i couldn't make sure about the unreachable parts .So there lies a risk. My config : Antec GX400 Cabinet,Corsair CX600 PSU,Nvidia GTX 760 DC II OC,AMD FX 6300,Asrock 970 extreme 4 mobo
