While unloading the truck with all of our stuff, we found that of the 10 boxes containing my majority of my vintage computer collection 8 have been damaged by water. It's going to take at least a week or two before I can get to those boxes. We did plan for that possibility by pre-wrapping all of the equipment in plastic bags, before wrapping them again in blankets, older sheets, and towels.
Some of the boxes appear to have gotten somewhat soaked; mostly on the bottom, so I hope the additional plastic wrap protected the computers, and expansion cards packed in those boxes. Since it will take me a couple of weeks to get everything to where I can unpack them, I think it would be prudent to open all of the computers to check for moisture and blow dry any of them that may have leaked to make sure most of the moisture is taken care of.
Is there another process you would recommend to completely eliminate any moisture?
