Yes its safe as long as you have no children or animals trying to get into it. You might have to keep an eye on the dust problem, But if you want a solution then have a look at water cooling for your computer, It will cut down on the dust that gets sucked in to the system, it will keep your computer cool so it will perform well and it will cut out most if not all of the noise.

You don't "use" it, it's passive. If your computer is plugged into a power strip with a surge protector or has one of its own on its power cable, it's already active. Even so, it's a good idea to unplug your computer during severe storms.

Leave it alone for a few weeks, if there aren't screws on it, then your going to end up cracking it open. Actually if you don't use it for a while and it dries up on its own, your drive probably will still work, I've had several electronics that got soaked but I let them dry for a few weeks and they usually ended up fine. Some people run over flash drives as well, and they still survive.

Yes. I have seen them use it in an island in the Caribbean.  Every day at 12:00pm they provoked rain. They kept the experiment going for nearly three years (1999-2001).

because it wont harm your computer if you turn it off when its safe.

you must not be too bad off if you are able to be on the computer.

Not bad at all. We have summer thunderstorms that are worse with more severe localized windows. Florida needs the rain, so in the words of President Bush.... Bring it on!

There is a small risk of being zapped during a storm if you are in a shower, talking on the phone, sitting on your sofa watching TV, and a few other things you should not do.
