The theoretical operating temperature for most electronics is about
30F-125F, however whenever possible components should be kept between
68F-72F for optimum use. The greatest single cause of failure for
electronic components is thermal shock, and a stable temperature is much
more important than an optimal one. Just a minor point, but if there are
fax machines in there, how do you plan to keep it locked?
