    My apologies for the double posting, but it occurred to me that this forum might be as or more sensible a place for the post than offtopic.

    Is it safe to use either a warm or cold mist humidifier in the same room (10'x12') with my PC--safe for the PC, that is? Is there an ambient humidity level which is dangerous, and below which it's OK?

    You want humidity, typically in the 30-50% range, extremes are bad. Less humidity can create static electricity problems and some components can dry out, too much and it lead to corrosion and heating problems in the computer.

    I suppose it would be ok, but I'd be careful :).
