I'm building a computer but I'm worried about the enviroment it will be in. At night I sleep with my fan on and during the day the fan is also on. The problem is I live in Oregon where 9 months of the year it rains and the other 3 months it gets so humid you cant handle it. When I leave my fan on at night I usually wake up to a thin layer of moisture covering my glass computer desk. Would it be bad to leave a computer tower in a room like that?
 
Solution
I would think it'd be fine. The glass gets condensation when it cools down overnight then as the room temp warms up the water in the glass (having no heat of its own) is lower than the ambient room temp until it too warms up. It's pretty humid where I live as well and have no issues. Humidity ranges from 60-90% more often than not much of the year.

Pretty much this, But just in case, it would be good to have the pc on top of some kind of mat. Like, a big sized mouse mat. It would prevent water from condensating on that area.
