    Is it bad to store desktop computer in a box, unused for a long time?


    I was supposed to move to another country and so the packing company came and sealed everything in boxes including my desktop computer. Unfortunately, flights got cancelled soon afterwards due to covid and now I have these sealed boxes in my house. I don't wanna open the boxes cause some flights might become available soon. I've been using my phone to get everything done so didn't feel much need for my desktop computer so it's been sealed in a box for last several months. I was wondering if this is bad for my computer. Can I leave it or should I take it out of the box?
