[Beowulf] Outdoor location?

[Vic Cornell]

What about humidity?

I know most kit is more tolerant than these days but it must rain  
there sometime :-)

If that is ok then maybe a side wall of downward angled but wide- 
mouthed louvres.

How well sealed is your desk? Drips could be costly.

Also there is climate change . . . .
