computer dvd storage
What should I consider when putting my computer into storage for one year?

In one week I will be entering a Christian ministry for a one year discipleship study. No computers, no TV, no books (except the Bible), no letters, no telephone, no contact with the opposite sex (I’m male, single and have a normal sex drive, meaning, this will be tough!).

I have a decent computer (Dell 3000, 3.2 GHz, 512 Meg RAM, two hard drives, modem, network card, 6 usb drives, DVD read/write plus a cd read/write). It will be put in a heated (just barely) property room in the ministry. This is in Michigan so temperature extremes are to be expected. Also, the property room will probably exceed 100 degrees farenheit (no air-conditioning here) during July – August.

Do I simply wrap it in a blanket to avoid dust? What if I wrapped it in plastic? Problem with moisture condensation?

I know this is a weird question but any advice is appreciated! Many of you will see this as chopping off your right arm for a year and that is exactly what it is feeling like to me right now!

I agree with selling it. In one year this computer is going to be so obsolite your going to want another one. Sell it now and get what you can and buy a newer better one, without all the headaches, with all the money you saved NOT dating any women! ;)

Good Luck!
