air humidifier and computer parts

[Big Gates]

Dear Steam Community,
I have two hobbies I want to share with you:
My plants and my computer.
I have an urban jungle, but i also have lot of technology at home.
I think it would be good for the growth and well-being of my plants if I increase the humidity of my home.
But I really don’t know how this would affect my technology, especially my computer.
Will the humidifier and the high humidity harm my computer?
Do somebody of you have the same hobbies as me, and can give me some advices?

leave it running, and the heat generated will dissipate any humidity in the case at the expense of power consumption.

as long as its non condensing on the pc components it will be fine

Thank you for the answer,
It would be not directly next to the PC but in one room, not far away..
I never had a air humidifier, but I think the moist air will reach every corner of the room..

Are aquariums where you put your PC immersed in oil still in fashion?

I have an essential oil diffuser in the same room as my PC, opposite on the other side of the room, and there is no effect on my computer components.

I would invest in a computer case that has very fine mesh to catch all the dust

[Big Gates]

So you use the oil diffuser for the smell?
Okay, thank you.

should be fine unless you overdo it. some tips:
warm air holds more moisture than cold air. any object that is cooler than the air can collect humidity from the air. if its colder outside, dont open a window near your computer. place your pc in a place where it wont get colder than the rest of the air in the room, mabye up from the floor a bit and not under a window where it might be cooler. if you go close to 100% relative humidity condensation can occur regardless as the air cant hold more water. try to keep the temerature in the room constant. i wouldent go above 70% RH and place the humidifier so that the steam dont get sucked directly into your pc and it should be fine. even if some parts in your pc will get hot, other may be cool due to fans etc and may collect water if the circumstances are right. if in doubt placing a hygrometer near your pc may be a good idea.
