Extreme weather computing

I am currently trying to cope with the rainy season here on Koh Phangan, this is causing some interesting technical problems.

Firstly there is the damp, if I switch off one of my PCs for an extended period of time I tend to have problems getting it started again, also have had component failures, more than should be expected.

Then there is the power, it goes on and off all day, sometimes 30 times a day at the moment, even a UPS isn’t proving to be very helpful as the charge gets slowly depleted throughout the day as the power cycles.

I think I might just switch over to using a laptop entirely soon, trying to run a couple of decent spec desktop PCs here is proving very problematic.
