Games in the Garage in the winter, good or bad

[smokinfish]

So for the first time in a long time it got down to 19 degrees in Dallas, Texas earlier this January! I did not fire the games up and kept the garage shut. Plan on giving them all a test tomorrow. I did take the bezel out of my joust and bring it inside.

No issue at all in Texas. My (insulated) garage gets down to the upper 40's/lower 50's in the dead of winter here (in the teens outside) and my game all play fine...

+1 same here. It's 30 and dropping outside right now, and 70 inside my garcade. I was just down there playing TRON!

Well, we hit -6 back in November and below zero temps for 4 days straight... not a problem... at all... all I did was keep the single electric oil heater at "2" out of "5" and on on "low" and it stayed in the upper 40's/lower 50's without issue. Hell, I wanted to heat up the garage so the baby could visit for a while so I turned up the heater to 5 and set it for high for 2 hours... came in and the damn room was warmer than it was in the house (73 degrees)... I had to turn the bastard down. Of course it's in the 30's outside now though.

I think I blew out the monitor in my Elevator Action 2 months ago. It was about 40 out, I wasn't happy about it.
