Appreciate a little bit of advice from the list
please.
I started getting my shed full of gear in order on the weekend.
Following a renno of the kitchen the plan is to rebuild the kitchen
cupboards in the shed to provide additional storage.
I noted when moving stuff around on the weekend that some corrosion has
set into DB plugs and PS2 connectors etc. Fortunately its on a couple of
AT machines of which I have about a zillion so its not a big drama but
I'm more concerned about the longer term effects on my more precious
assets.
Storing stuff in the house would be great but that also equates to
divorce :-)
How do people store their computer stuff medium to long term.

It'll get you no matter what you do:
If it's damp corrosion sets in.
If it's try the caps will go bad.
If vermin gets to it they will gnaw on everything.
Dry is always best to reduce corrosion the true bane of electronics, it acts
like cancer.
Put everything on wooden platforms and make sure there is air circulation,
if you want to cover it to keep dust etc off cotton material is better than
plastic.
If you find corrosion on anything of value get a brass brush (size of a
toothbrush) and clean it well.
