Probably won't help in New England. All that does it make it take longer for the garage to reach freezing. Without a heat source inside it will still happen, especially if he actually uses the garage by opening the door.

Sucks to be you guys. I think we hit the upper 30's once or twice in Jan. or Feb. this year. On the other side, running a cab in a garage in the summer would probably kill my computer as it probably hits 120-130F in there with 80-90% humidity, good old Houston heat.

Over the winter I'm looking to finish my basement (after I'm sure it's water tight) and I'm kind of pressed for space. I was thinking about storing them in my garage until after the holidays and then moving them to the basement. I would let the games warm up for a few days before firing them up.
ChadTower:
That should be fine. It's the rapid temperature change that is the enemy here. It's not even at its coldest here until February anyway so that timeline is reasonable. If it helps I store cabs in my noninsulated shed year round. I never play them there, though.

Hmmm... I was thinking more along the lines of cracking paint and overall damage to the cab itself due to expansion and contraction (not the internal components). I just wouldn't want something I spent hundreds of hours on to warp, break, crack or otherwise just by leaving it in the garage.
