 The use of water-cooled A/C should not in and of itself cause the
 humidity to be higher.  Sharing the A/C with another computer is
 probably the reason that the room is colder.  Being colder the
 humidity will be higher in your room than the other room.  You really
 should work on correcting your environment.  If you have poor
 environment you are just asking for troubles.  It is possible to
 balance the two rooms but it is not easy.  You need to determine the
 heat loads in the two rooms and control the air flow.  I have seen
 some automatic systems that will use a second thermostat to control
 air flow to the second room.
