Right now its really humid where I live (nj, united states) and it has me worried about my rig. How much humidity can it take? It has only been bad for a few days but it is the summer so it could stay bad for awhile.

it's not sitting outside is it? if it's inside, it's fine. PCB has a soldermask layer on it that helps prevent oxidation. no need to worry as long as you're not trying to game on the beach.
 
alright thanks. Idk, I can remeber when I worked at in inside pool. The thing was a greenhouse with 100% humidity all the time all day. We kept having to buy new radios because they would die within 6 months because of all the humitidy.
