I do seasonal service work at a location on the boardwalk. Many of their
machines have a terrible problem with moisture and dew buildup.
For example, yesterday I opened up a computer from a driving game
and there were water droplets all over the CPU and cabinet fans as well
as other parts of the motherboard.
I presume most of this forms at night when the machines are powered
down and the equipment and building cools down.
I have treated the monitors with corona dope which shields the anode
cap and almost eliminates the lightning shows in the morning, however I
have absolutely no ideas of how to protect the computers in the games.
I've pulled all the covers off the computers in games, this seems to
help but I'm wondering how others in this situation have handled the
problem.
Thanks,
JD
