How can I keep the computers on my spaceship from temperature related death after a hull breach?
Spaceships are a peculiar thing. We've got them in all forms, sizes & colours. They have vast computers needed to do all the real-time calculations required for astrogation.
Assuming our computers are not as perfect as we designed them to be. There have been some miscalculations and we've been hit by a rather large junk of something that should not have been there!
We managed to seal-off the crew area and life-support seems to be still-running. But there's an issue:
Our server-room has been breached and atmosphere is venting at an alarming rate. Environment-control for that section has shut down and we cannot fix the breach, as the section of our ship containing our spacewalk equipment has been ripped off and is currently on its way into the local star...
We need to keep our computers from dying, otherwise we'll stand little chance of being able to send a distress signal, and no chance of staying alive until someone arrives to rescue us.
Q: How can we keep our computers at working temperature, so they neither freeze nor combust while we wait for our rescuers?
We do have unlimited power. But everything is managed by these computers.
