Humidity isn't much of an issue, because it's a finished room with heating/ac hooked up. Problem is, since my thermostat for the house is located downstairs, and this room is above the garage, thus far this year, during the winter months I recorded temperatures close to if not a little under the same as the rest of the house, but this summer, I'm seeing temperatures of around 80-85 degrees. I thought of adding another vent, or a larger duct going to the room, but that would be more than I'd really like to spend right now. <br /> <br />My question is, since I know alot of people deal with humidity and varying temperature issues in basements and garages, how would regularly having 80+ degree temperatures affect the electronics and electrical motors and such of the layout? I've heard that higher temperatures have negative effects on computer equipment, and I eventually plan to have my layout computerized. Any ideas of the effects of higher temperatures?
