Summer on PCs

I'd like to move my constantly-running Linux server into the garage. One
less humming noise-maker in the house. Now the question to those
Arizonians is, if any of you has experience with running PCs at such
high environment temperatures.

Temperature is the biggest issue. Of course, I'd try to pick components
which aren't already running hot (so no o/ced CPUs, 10K SCSI drivers or
similar). Still, the question remains if maybe the whole attempt to run
a PC with standard office components at outside temperatures isn't
entirely futile.

Any experiences?
