I’m trying to figure out where to put my server, currently it’s on my desk. I want to avoid the garage because of exhaust/dirt/temperature swings. The understair closet is next to the shower, so humidity could be a concern, and also it’s a small awkward shaped space. I would prefer to set it up in the utility room, but there’s humidity and dust from the dryer and washer. Maybe I’m just being too precious though

Mine is actually in a toilet cubby in my garage, it's the only part of the garage that's heated and it's mostly separate from the mess I make in the rest of the space. But I do blow it out with compressed air semi-regularly because its still less than ideal.

It was convenient though because it's on the other side of a wall shared by my entertainment center, so it was easy to cut holes and put in keystone plates on both sides.

Airflow solves humidity. Cut a hole in the door and install a fan
