For a long time I have wanted to bury a concrete box in the hillside
where it would have good drainage and ventilation. I would run power
and LAN cable underground to that box and put an old computer with a
large hard drive in it. My software will automatically backup every
changed file to that hard drive.

As long as I have vents in the box, the heat from the computer should
carry excess humidity out of the box. Does anyone see any problems
with such a system?
