(meteorobs) PC Temp range
Someone asked a question about PC temperature
tolerance range. While no expert . . . the main
constraint on temperature would probably be in
the high temperature range. At the high end
some electronics would not be able to cool off
fast enough and would experience premature
failure -- the microprocessor chip in particular,
perhaps DRAM also. On the cold end I don't
know that there would be a problem with the
electronics, maybe the problem is with the
mechanics of the disk drive -- mechanical
dimensional tolerances, lubrication not
functioning . . . I don't know.
It is unlikely anyone would provide an
integral environmental support system for
a PC -- and this is kind of what was suggested --
because this would be more expensive and few
people would be willing to pay for this feature,
so the price would be all the more expensive.
