I have a box I made over the summer - C2D, yadda yadda yadda, and 5 hard drives (two of them raptors).
I also have a room in a house - said room has no heat. The house has heat, just the room doesn't. I have an electric heater, but I can only run it while I'm in the room and definitely not while I'm sleeping.
So, last night was the first cold night - my processor's idle dropped to 18C. Hey, great for the processor, right? But what about the hard drives? And my monitor? Will temperatures lower than 40F do damage to my components while they're running? If so, is there any company that makes a computer/monitor heater?
