I have found that the "Magic Pixie Dust" for a damp shop comes in a
spray can called Caig deoxit. The trick is pairing a contact cleaning
solution with an appropriate oil that seals the contacts so that oxygen
can't get into the connection.
A church building is a great place for humidity related failures. Warm
on Sunday morning and Wednesday evening, cool and damp the rest of the
time. We have a 6 -DVD duplicator with a hard drive inside. After
about a year 2 of the DVD drives were acting up, and if left on for
about a half an hour, the OS (probably DOS) would lock up and need to be
power cycled.
I sprayed every connector I could get apart (mostly SATA), and it came
back to life, and has been working well for many years since.
I even tried it on a processor socket to see if the oil would mess up
signal integrity and it didn't, so I think the oil has a dielectric
coefficient near that of air.

The version running a 4 core GX-415 processor should be fine for
LinuxCNC. I use Wyse 5020 thin clients on my lathe and router, which
use the same SOC. The 2 core version is a bit slow if you are using it
with Ethernet FPGA cards. I used one on my lathe for a couple of years
and it occasionally popped up a latency warning, though the machine
appeared to run fine.
I have to admit I'm a big fan of thin clients. My workshop is pretty
damp and when I used desktop based PCs I probably averaged about 1
failure every year or so. Since swapping to thin clients about 5 years
ago I have had one failure and that was down to my carelessness,
rather than a spontaneous failure.
