Shower next very close to my pc room in the basement

[FirstTimebuilder777]

My room in which my pc is in is connected to my bathroom and shower. They are separated by a door but that is it. Could the cloud of moisture after I take a shower move into my room and damage my Pc. There is no fan In the bathroom and this is in a basement that usually is not humid, but the shower does create a lot of water vapor. Will opening the door on the other side of the bathroom, which leads to an open area of the basement, help this? Note there is no visible water vapor in my room but there is in the bathroom so i assume at least some water vapor goes into my room. Thank you please help
PS sorry for bad english

Yes, water vapor can be harmful to your computer. Buy a fan and point it so it blows the water vapor thought the other door into the open area of the basement while you are showering and drying off.

Could damage already be done? how can I tell.

A dehumidifier might do the trick

If the computer has been on long enough and remains on, components inside will be well above dew point and condensation from a waft of saturated air should not be a problem.

So what you are saying is that my pc is safe? what if I leave it shut down when not in use?

If the PC gets cold enough and enough saturated air gets in, condensation may form on cold parts, causing shorts and corrosion.

How can I tell if this is happening to my pc I don't see any corrosion and it has never shorted out

Condensation forms on the coldest surfaces saturated air encounters and the computer case should be the thing that cools down fastest when the computer is shut down since it has direct contact with ambient air. If there is no condensation on the chassis, then there shouldn't be any inside.

Also, when the PC is off, the fans are off too, which means there won't be much saturated air getting inside.
