So I am a pretty anxious person. I built a nice PC a few months ago and it's been great. Now summer has come around and I need to use AC again (I live in a pretty cool and dry region). I have become really paranoid about using my wall AC unit with my computer in the same room so if I could have some clarity about this issue it would be amazing.
I live in a relatively small apartment. My wall AC unit is about 10 feet directly across the room from my computer desk, PC, monitor, etc. My AC and PC are on the same circuit so I never use both at the same time (so the normal condition of a computer running hot and a room being cold won't really occur). The AC unit blows directly at the PC and desk.
Is there any concern to running my AC while my PC is powered off, across the room? The case of the PC is metal and may cool faster than other things in the room and perhaps the room temperature itself, which I believe can cause condensation.
Would putting a sheet over my pc/monitor be a good way to protect it from cool air lowering its temperature too quickly. Would it be better to divert the direct air flow coming out of the AC so it's not blowing straight at my PC?
I think I'm probably just overly worried about nothing but I would love to have some confirmation that this shouldn't cause an issue. I greatly appreciate any replies or helpful advice, you guys are always the best!
