If you have moisture problems, just pick up a de-humidifier.

What if you converted your basement into a den/man cave?

Then put some of these in there, and you won't have spider problems. They will just get blown away.

I would have a computer in a finished basement but that is it. Otherwise I would worry about it getting too cold and damp at times. As mentioned, I would also worry about dst.

Haha I would never worry about a computer getting too cold. Dust is not a huge issue either, as long as you set up decent filters. Now, dampness is a different matter that can be solved by a dehumidifier.
