Computer in outside shed - would it get too cold?!

I've got a P4 in my garage, which is detached from the house with no heating.

It runs 24/7 with no problems. In Summer it did get a bit toasty, but its under an XP90c and the CPU useage isn't too high (like FAH) and I just upped the fan speeds. Make sure you have good airflow accross your compenents and you will be fine.
 
Thanks for the advice and opinions. I have decided thats its a bit much hassle, and I'l likely bite the bullet and go with a HD NAS box, or a couple.

The summer heat would not have been a problem, as it would not be there in the summer. Attic or cupboard was not realistic. Security was not a major concern, the shed is lockable.
 
My Server is in the shed (although it is concrete not a wooden shed). It hasn't gone below 8c in there yet that I have seen although it was -3c the other night.
Stable as can be and no problems with condensation or anything like that.
Any questions feel free :)
