That's still pretty accurate, last I checked. It's not cheap. Plus, it evaporates and you'll need to fill it up again over time.

Yes and no. It depends upon how low you take it. Also, if some bulk capacitors are leaky, you could run into stability issues as their capacitance decreases when the Galden/Flourinert leaks into them.

This is why freezers have a defrost cycle and a drip pan for the liquified frost that had built up. Either you do it manually somehow (defrost manually or change out the dessicant) or you do it with some automated system (like refrigerators and freezers do).

Yes. This is standard HVAC stuff. Google for dewpoint charts. Condensation depends upon temperature, humidity and air pressure.
