Will I damage my games storing them in non-climate controlled storage?

QUESTION:

I just rented a storage unit for my arcade machines and some of my home-vid games (im in Texas so it does get a little hot). Im wondering if the arcade machines can get damaged in any way. Im sure they'll be fine this fall/winter, if summer is bad on them I might have to move them to a climate controlled.

ANSWER:

No problem with everything except all your backglasses will deteriorate in cold weather. The paint WILL fall off. Starting with red, then skin ciolor; in other words you could if you removed all the glass and bring it inside. The cardboard cabinets will absorb huumidity and swell. Apart from this, no problem. Texas probably does not have these cold nights of -40 degrees
