Wrecking Crew Smooth Operator Member Registered: 03/04/07 Posts: 1649 Loc: Colorado	The danger is in freezing the display - at least that would happen with liquid crystal displays. The -Ice inside the display will crack it.

speedbump Hotshot Registered: 11/23/05 Posts: 6321 Loc: Edgewood TX	If it has a hard drive like my Zune 120, I would not leave it in the car. If it's solid state like my wife's Zune 32Gb, we leave it in the car all the time. _________________________ MSI P55-GD65 with i5-750 @ 4.0Ghz vcore 1.370 Xigmatek Balder HS/2 120mm fans, Antec EW PSU EA750 750W GSKILL Ripjaws 2x4Gb DDR3 1333 One 2Tb Seagate LP, two 1.5Tb LP Seagates Gigabyte GTX 460 1Gb OC to within an inch of it's life Lite-On 24X DVD burner, LG 12X Blu-Ray burner COOLER MASTER Storm Scout Win 7 Pro 64 Lots of fans spinning with little LED lights blinking www.razzledazzleart.com http://texascbx.blogspot.com/

Down here on the bayou, cold is 35 to 40 degrees Yeah, for you northerners it does get that cold. Around here I only worry about leaving things in the car during the REST of the year. The winter is the safe time! The Jedi Master _________________________ Back off, man. I'm a scientist.
