Store them similar to how they would have been boxed new.
If you think all these NIB machines that are found in long locked up warehouses that would have been similar conditions to what you described and usually come out ok.
You have the advantage of not having to worry about transport so can be bit less cautious about that side of the packaging.
Sounds good. Like I said, just for sanity sake, I have removed all CR2032s. I know they should be able to handle the heat and cooling cycles but the batteries are so cheap. Anyway I can just buy more later when I can pull them all out of storage again.
I'm definitely going to grab some silica just because it does rain. Sometimes your taxes. But overall we are a dry climate. We're not known for rusty things.
And thanks everyone for the tips. I'm going to make sure these things stay super in. Good shape is best I can but it's a matter of necessity with the rising costs of everything that my savings are gone and I'm tired of living paycheck to paycheck doing door dash outside of my normal job just so I can pay bills. So this is my way of saving up some money so I can put it down payment on a house. So sadly it means the computers will be in storage for a year or two.
