Running servers in COLD environments (alien.top)

I have a detached garage where I want to store a backup TrueNAS server. The garage isn't insulated and living in Berkshire County Massachusetts, the temp gets down to the teens out there.

Has anyone ever run a server in that type of cold? I was thinking of running it fanless and letting the CPU warm the enclosure.

Bugs will be a problem. Ladybugs will seek out warm places to snooze through the winter. Every fall I get a few in my basement equipment.
