Can this be used in a data center/ server room? I understand it's using water which raises humidity which is bad for electronic components...

I wouldn't use this anywhere near vital electronic components. This thing will raise the humidity especially when you close the door without ventilation. So the answer is hands down NO.

I use it indoors! But you are right, there is an outlet and moisture could get in. I do not know what damage that might cause, and tripping a GFCI would be only the beginning of the possible problems if the output side gets wet. Better call Insteon. Their tech support is pretty good.

If you are in air conditioned room, and humidity not to high, not a problem. I have not had any problems under these conditions.

I don't know. I didn't use it. I just vented it into the suspended ceiling of my office where we use it to keep our computer servers cool

This evaporative cooler adds humidity since it uses water. An air conditioner, on the other hand, will pull humidity out. There are dehumidifiers for sale too. I do not have any recommendation for that product.

I think that the cooling system is pretty efficient, a little noisy, but makes the work. I work with virtual machines, that demand performance without problem. The battery life is acceptable in this conditions too (2.30 hr using the processor and disk continuosly)

It depends on the clocks you want to run that CPU... for stocks and up to 4.4-4.6 may be OK (it also depends on the airflow in your case) for 24/7 usage, but if you aim to 5GHz and over, I would definitely suggest you water-cooling.

It's not too bad. I run it on fan speed of 3 which is plenty to humidify the house. I do have it in a room that is not normally occupied though. I don't think you'd want to have it sitting next to you in your living room or bedroom. We have a wood stove and this unit is well worth a little humming noise to generate some humidity in the house. We love it!

I don't own the desk, but I can tell you if you plan to put a tower in one of the shelving spots it will cause your computer to run hot from lack of air. Also, remember that you have to run your wires too from back there.

Not really. The more humid it is, the worse this does. You can get it to continue working with ice and such, but then you're not really getting actual effect from the device as much as a fan over a thing of ice/iced water.

one additional note. If you travel, do not use this device in the hotel bathroom. It will be fighting the generally more humid air in a bathroom. Use it in the room itself (air conditioned).

I ventilate eveything, even liquid on the CPU. Makes it last and not overheat when I push it. I'm working, not playing games.

I have had no problem, but I only run it for a few hours on low when i am in the room. It is a small room..I'm not sure that is a good idea, though.

IF you live in an area of very high humidity, then remove the plug, so you don't have an overflow problem (rare). I live in Los Angeles and with the plug in, there has never been a problem. The unit actually has a slinger inside and uses some of the excess condensation in the tray to increase cooling efficiency, and it evaporates the normal extra moisture.

This is a computer case fan. More specifically, it was intended for a certain CPU heat sink. Sorry but I haven't got a clue as to why you bought this for your message room.

It's large but I don't think it's a good idea to use in a room that generates humidity

I would not use it if it is that old. That said, if you squirt some out and it is still spreadable the yes it can be used. It's a heat conducter withsilver particles in it. It's meant to make up for the gaps between the heat sink and the cpu.
