I think could be related to where his location is.. I believe he is from Victoria.. is that an island surrounded by the Pacific ocean? I think combination of Air from the surrounding sea area, plus tank.. could be possible.. as most of the air in your house or room mostly will be from the mixture of salt breeze, plus reef tank.. hmm create a combo there

I've never heard of anything like this, and I've maintained computers from coast to coast, including locations that were literally within a stone's throw from the ocean, and in locations that were within a foot of a reef aquarium. A lot of things go wrong with computers, but I've never seen one fall to corrosion... They do go badly wrong when they get wet.
I'm not saying it didn't happen. I'm saying I'm strongly suspicious of either the story or the competency of the tech, or there is something else at play.

I'm from the island as well, I do get a fare amount of moisture in the air,
But even though I have my tower like right next to one of my tanks I've never had a problem. On a side note I'd go back to the first 2 stores and demand my diagnostic fee back. If they didn't notice rust and corrosion they mustn't have taken a very close look.

computer
I had 2-90gal. reef and a 255.The humidity was pretty thick.I have a airconditioner dehumidifyer but can only run it when i/m home.I would get a gallon a day out of it.I have cut down to a 33 reef and 255 because of that.I really want to get a big reef again.I know my sister never saw anything like that or the other computer guys.Does anybody else get that much humidity in there place.I even had my monitor sent to Vancouver becouse somebody said it must be the problem.It took 3 weeks and they said they fixed it.There was nothing wrong with it.

We'll find out because my controller laptop is probably in the worse possible location for exposure to salt as it is mounted just above the sump, under the stand of my 400.
If there is any splashing anywhere in the system, then you will have salt in the air. Just wipe any horizontal surface with your finger and have a little taste.
