20, maybe 25 years ago, Motorola ran tests on IC v temperature.  Their
findings indicated that for every 10 degrees C (18 degrees F) you increase
the ambient temperature of an IC's environment you cut it's life in half.

Hope this helps.

I am currently in the process of converting a refrigirator to being a server
cabinet for 
9 servers in my garage. 

Due to the nature of refrigerators being designed to keep cold in and air
out, 
I am learning how to drill just the right holes to have 1 cable in for power

and 1 cable out for Ethernet and still keep the integrity of the fridge. 

That is the only thing slowing me down since I only want to cut once 
without hitting any internal coils. 

I tested the unit for condensation by putting in 2 motherboards overnight 
and then pulled them out. The freezer gets too cold for PC equipment but 
the bottom half is ok. 
Just to be safe I plan on putting in baking soda and some dessicant in the
fridge 
section. 

Used fridges are dirt cheap. 

I'll make sure to put pictures on my website when it is complete.
