I didn't exactly know where to properly put this, so...

Hi. My situation: all the old desktops, laptops, etc. (including hard drives, printers, scanners) are lately crowding the house, and I want to store them somewhere they won't get in anyone's way for the moment until I find time to resell them or something. I was thinking of putting them in our attic storage room or one of the many little closets we have up there. Problem is I live in the tropics, and it does get hot up there. I know high temperatures and computers and computer parts don't play well, but them being defective doesn't make me worried about damaging parts anyway, and I'm not too sure if I can even resell them. I guess I'm just looking for something convenient for now. So, is storing them in a hot place, at least for now, okay?
 
I would say if they are all boxed to protect them it should be fine, but to save yourself the hassle of just keeping loads of stuff the will only take up space, i would look through as you pack away and anything really old or your sure is faulty i would dump and get it out the way.
 
I'm rather short on boxes right now, unfortunately. Not to sound dumb, but what risks are there if I don't put them away in boxes? (Actually, I'd only thought of dumping them upstairs because I just needed some place convenient to temporarily store them until my schedule frees up.) Thanks.
