You may have seen water drip from the A/C vent where the cool air exits in the cabin, but I dont think you will ever have condenstation on the outside wall of the vent that runs above the glove box the A/C vent does not vent air directly into the glove box. I've been driving for over 20 years and have never seen water drip down a dashboard caused by condensation from an A/C vent (not saying it can't happen just never seen it).

As far as mouniting PC in glove box, I spend a fair amount of time on mp3car.com and may have missed it but I've never seen any post advising not to mount PC in glove box.

Concerning codensation this isn't the first time I heard the statement about A/C causing condensation on a PC. Most people forget that Condensation is result of warm moisture-laden air contacting a colder surface. The condition in the glove box is the exact opposite, the PC components are hot giving off dry hot air, the warm air rises then is cooled by the A/C vent. The only concern for condensation would be on the outside of the A/C vent, PC's do not produce moisture thus I dont see the concern.

If the logic of A/C causing condensation in PC's were true a home PC or any other electronic equiment lets say TV would drip water when it came into contact with air cooled from an A/C. Sorry to rant but I've seen and heard the A/C causing condensation in a PC statment several times but have never seen anyone provide information on how this occurs.
