Humidity is bad for computers in general. I wonder if a dehumidifier will work, in those conditions.

Humidity is only bad if your computer is cooler than the surrounding air, which probably isn't the case while it is on.

Dryness is actually more of a problem due to static discharge, so at least you don't have that to worry about.

well, it just depends how humid it is, and how likely it is to condense into water.
