Fw: Putting Node Zero in garage

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Mine is in the garage - http://palmlodge.com/lookup/node+0

As the systems stay online, they generate their own heat. Cold is
generally good for them - they will last longer :-) That room will never
get frosty, in the same way your car window will not outside if you put a
blanket over it.

As the room is ventilated, moisture shouldnt occur either.

[ukha_d] Putting Node Zero in garage
.
Category:




Is this a good idea?  I've run out of space under the stairs inside the
house and I'm toying with the idea of moving everything out into the
garage.
The garage adjoins the house and is secure but isn't heated.  All my kit
would be in one closed rack. I'm concerned about very low temperatures and
any condensation during the winter months.  (As I type the outside temp is
10c, the garage is 11c and node zero is 33c) As all the kit in there will
be
powered on 24x7 I had thought it would generate enough heat within the
rack
to be okay. Anyone done this or any other considerations I should be
thinking about??

TIA
