Computer exposure to heat & humidity
A few days ago a steam valve burst in my apartment while I was at work. When I got home, the apartment was easily over 100 degrees and was thick with humidity. There was condensation on the walls, puddles of water on the floor and water dripping from the ceiling. Unfortunately, I had left my G5 on from the previous night, and the fans were running like crazy. I immediately turned the computer off. Later, after the temperature was back to normal, I turned my computer on to see if it was working correctly. It seemed to be okay, though a few things were weird (it seemed a bit slower, and at one point it wouldn't let me select a folder when I clicked on it, but then it worked okay a minute later).
I'm concerned about the potential long-term damage that may have occurred while my computer sat in, essentially, a steam bath. I don't know exactly how hot and humid it got in the apartment, or for how long it sat like that, but I do know that it was bad enough to make candles slump over and anchored shelves completely tear out of the walls.
Is it possible that damage has occurred that I can't see now, but may screw up my computer a few weeks or months down the road?
