I had an older HP 2U server in the garage with 6 external drives attached to it for more than 1 1/2 with no problems. I finally retired it just a couple weeks ago. Previously I have had them in laundry rooms on top of shelves to minimize the dust bunnies attacking them.

Hey all,

So I'm in the position where I'd like to have a little more computing
power close to me instead of "in the cloud."  But, I really don't want
to put a computer in my office, I'd prefer to hide it in the "local
cloud."

It seems like the two issues now become dust and heat.  I'd love to put
it in the garage or attic, but I'm curious if that's just simply
impractical.  Has anyone done something like this?  What problems did
you encounter?
