new equip storage

I have purchased new top line equipment for a new house that is set back many months. The problem is that I live in Buffalo,NY and we recently were hit with a storm and flooding. I saved the equipment but have no room in my present house for storage. Can I store the equipment in my new home that is being built, as long as it is in a dry dust free area that has no heat. Because of construction and what has happpened here, Heat will not be installed until Feb (worst senerio). Will it be ok in the cold as long as it is dry and clean? Are there temp limits?
ETC,etc

We are talking about amps, pre-amps, turntable, dvd, monster surge protector units, 63" TV, speakers, about @ $30m.

Wow, $30 million? That must be one HELL of a system! Go ahead and store the system in the new house. Give me the address and I'll "keep an eye on it" for ya. Just kidding, of course. *Definitely* get some temp-controlled storage until the house has a working HVAC system.

I say just store it at your new house. What is the address of the new house. :)

All joking aside I agree with the climate controlled storage unit idea.

Million? Thousand?

Brings up a pet peeve....

I can't understand why media always denote millions- let's say $30,000,000 - as $30M.

M is one thousand. MM is 1000 x 1000 or 1 million. So really, $30,000,000 should be annotated as $30MM. $30,000 should be $30M.

So, who came up with the now accepted single M to denote a million when describing currency, etc?- and can I get a bag of what they were smoking?
