I have an idea on how to do it. I am Judy wondering if anyone had done it

Nice to meet you Judy. I'm not sure temperature is as big a deal as it first seems. Lots of people keep their video games and pinball machines in garages that stay below freezing for large parts of the year. Some of them even play pinball games at those temps, which sounds like a recipe for disaster but I guess it works for them.
I don't know how you'd handle the moisture. Maybe something built out of plastic like those Duramolds?

Temperature shifts can be a huge issue ... when the electronics warm up and start sweating, shorts start happening and chips and caps can pop from warming up too quick.
Donkbaca:
Had anyone buy one? I am aware of the issues, I want to know if anyone has built one

Build it like computer space. The continuous fiber-glass shell will keep the internals dry!
