When you put the boards and such away, do you include a pouch of silica gel to absorb the
excess water and decrease the possibility of corrosion? Does this matter?

If you intend to seal the boards in plastic, I'd highly recommend the use
of a silica gel pack. I don't mean just placing the board in an
anti-static bag and possibly taping it closed, but actually heat sealing
the anti-static bag, or even sealing the board/anti-static bag inside
another anti-static bag (usually a different type of bag when double
bagged). The most common reasons one might want to seal a board in plastic
is to keep out all dust and humidity. For most computer boards, that is
probably overkill. I could see it being a good idea for long term storage
of certain hard drives though. Maybe this would also be a good idea for
core memory boards?
