I want to build an outside bitcoin mining box that will have a roof and vents for Antminer s7, but will condensation be a problem? what about in the winter will it be too cold for it? I live in Canada. In the summer would it be too hot? Rain won't be the issue I will come up with a pretty good box design. What if it shuts down for what ever reason will it be okay?
We really can't say what effects would be without seeing mining box. Personally a box outside in elements...... sounds like not the greatest thing I would look for other options. Yes if elements can reach it condensation, dust, etc could be a problem. Again had to say without seeing box. I personally am not sure how you will be able to keep rain/snow etc out and allow good airflow.
"What if it shuts down for what ever reason will it be okay?" It depends on reason it shutdown if it's from condensation hitting the electronics it will be hard to come back from. Honestly it sound like a hard life for a miner.
