You might get some condensation (although i doubt it with the fan and the low difference in temperature) but never enough to cause a shortcircuit. Water inst really a good conductor for electricity, you need to add salt for that.
Very nice setup!
Thank You very Much
I have had it in working condition for a few days now the temps do not get above 80º. so I think I am all good for now . I will be working on another one very soon.
