Running a Server at Freezing Temperatures?

Posted by Cliff on from the brrrrr! dept.

mw13068 asks: "As a part of a backup solution, I'm thinking of running a backup server in my unheated, unattached garage. I live in central New York State, and the temperatures very often drop below zero degrees Celsius. The computer is a Pentium III Celeron running at 733MHz. Has anyone else tried this sort of thing? If you have, please share your experiences."

    Now why is the parent modded Offtopic when it is referring to tape drives and the topic of discussion is backup servers?
    Hello? McFly? Apparently at least one moderator around here doesn't realise that a backup server might, (just might!), have a tape drive attached to it.

    (I told Cmdr Taco giving mod points to crack monkeys was a mistake!! But did he listen to me? Heck no! Now we got the little buggers swinging from sigs and flinging mod points any old way! :)
