Humidity Issues

I was shocked last night (almost literally) when I opened my cabinet doors to my sump...the whole inside of the cabinet was damp. I had a cheapo power bar in there and one of the sockets had deformed...I quickly unplugged that for the night.

Today I bought a high quality power bar. I noticed while moving plugs how wet all of the cords were. Any suggestions for reducing humidity? The tank is in an open living area so a humidifier is not really an option. Would a fan under there help? I'm going to make a point of wiping down everything daily to prevent problems but I was wondering what else I could do?

Temperature is also a bit of an issue too...
 
A fan would help a lot... and you might see if you can obtain some of those packing beads that electronic places use and put them in a big container underneath. Long term though, putting a fan into the side of the stand and taking the doors off might be your best bet,
