Hide a Hub in a Humidor?

[CptnBlues63]

I'm a computer geek by trade and have been working in industry for around 16 years now.....the last 6 as a "Network Tecnician" specializing in enterprise networking.

I looked over that article and it was a chuckle.........but not something I'd ever consider doing for a couple simple reasons.

First, you need to have air moving around the computer equipment at all times to help dissipate heat. Heat is the enemy with all computers. Openings in the humidor to allow free airflow would be counterproductive to maintaining a steady RH. Not having openings in the humi to allow the heat out means a computer that constantly reboots once it, and the humi's interior, warm up. I figure you'd get about 5 whole minutes of computing before the reboots started to happen. In short order, the CPU would meltdown and your PC would be toast.

Second, moisture is also the enemy of any electronics.

Not that I'm against the idea of a lovely wood box for your computer, but the way I see it, you would want one or the other....a computer or a humidor. Any attempt to actually combine the two and have a working computer and a working humidor means the PC or the cigars suffer.

Maybe you could change your name to CptnObvious?

True...without a fan and ventilation of some sort it really wouldn't prove very useful- neat lookin' though!

Glad y'all got a kick out of it...I know I did.
