Computer Storage

Dear All

I am thinking of renting a building in which to store my computer collection,
together with that of a friend who has gone to Canada [Bob Manners, for P850UG
people]. The building is very simply constructed - single brick walls and sheet
asbestos roof - and currently has no supply of electricity or gas, but appears
fairly dry (at least at present).

Do people on either of the two lists have suggestions for:

What precautions should I take in storing computers here?

Do I need to insulate / heat the building?

Should I install a dehumidifier (I think I can get hold of one)?

Do I need (for example) to wrap each computer up in plastic with a packet of
silica gel?

The rent is very cheap - L2 (about $3.30) per square foot per year, and the
building is only 10 min walk from my house. With luck, this will mean that I
shall soon have a house with room for me as well as my junk...

Philip.

      Bloedem Volke unverstaendlich treiben wir des Lebens Spiel.
      Grade das, was unabwendlich fruchtet unserm Spott als Ziel.
      Magst es Kinder-Rache nennen an des Daseins tiefem Ernst;
      Wirst das Leben besser kennen, wenn du uns verstehen lernst.
