Transporting desktop computer in cold temperatures

[broccolimeister]

Hey, I'm going to be travelling from Massachusetts to Vermont and I have to bring my computer with me, and I was wondering if it would be safe for it to sit in the car for a bit during the day, as it will have to be in the car from tomorrow (Sunday) through Monday night at around 5 PM, but I could take it sunday night into a hotel. The rest of the time it would be in the back of the car.

The coldest it is going to be on Sunday night is 26 degrees Fahrenheit, but it could be brought inside for that night but only if necessary.
I'm just wondering if anything bad will happen like it not turning on or it freezing or something going wrong with the hard drive.

Specs if necessary:
i5 4690k - not overclocked or water cooled
GTX 1050 ti
16GB of DDR3
MSI Gaming 5
120GB SSD and 1TB HDD
Corsair CX550M power supply

Thank you

Hi,
I wouldn't worry about temperatures (you'd let the pc to "rest" after arriving at destination and not starting it right away).
The problem, in my opinion, would be the shocks during transportation, that might damage the CPU socket, especially if heavy cpu cooler installed.
I'd remove the cpu cooler and graphics card and reinstall them afterwards.

I'm using the stock cooler and I don't think that would cause too many problems, but I'll remove the graphics card
