I have a Shed at my house, we bought awhile ago..

its one for meat I believe


Refrigeration unit

I was thinking tomorrow I will go look at it...but has anyone done this before or anything?

I'm pretty sure it's OK because nothing would be cooler than the internal ambient, but I'd still be very careful and monitor it for condensation. If you use water cooling just make sure it's not under 32* and if it is make sure you don't do it long and that the pump is running the WHOLE time so it can't start to freeze. Also, when you bring it back inside it will condense a little because it'd be cooler than the house ambient, so you have to be careful there.

I'm no expert so I don't take responsibility for problems, but it should be OK afaik.

CyberDruid used to run his PCs outside on the porch in the snow. Ask him about the dangers.

it gets way below freezing in arizona. infact last i checked they had 50 inches of snow in the mountains and it was 30 degrees in tucson :)

If the whole PC is in the shed, you shouldn't need much insulation against condensation. If you only put the radiator in there, then you'll need to do much more.

Really need more details before we can help... just remember cold is terrible for hard drives, so don't leave em outside too long.
