I have a TV on a wall with the back of it being the garage. I have my AV equipment in the garage connected to the TV with all working fine. AV equipment generally has higher tolerances for temperature,being that often times that type of equipment is placed within cabinets, etc. Each piece is seperate so it has plenty of air flow around it.
However my garage is exposed to the elements so to speak. During the summer, temperatures can reach 100F and about 30F in the winter. I was thinking of adding an HTPC to the mix. Would a computer survive a few years in such an environment? I know high ambient temps can kill pc's, but I wasn't sure if a well ventilated case could handle such an environment. Would humidity be a concern also?
I guess I am just trying to see if its feasible to add an HTPC to this environment.
