I live in the desert. I've seen comments that excessive moisture can
be damaging for components (such as above) and I've seen photos of
monitors that have some funky spotting on them from being stored in
very humid environments (like a SF bay area garage).
Does anything bad happen to electronics that are stored in very dry
conditions for long periods of time? Cities like this would be anything
in Utah, Arizona, Nevada and Idaho (Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Phoenix,
Boise, Reno, etc.).
