    I dont know why UPS or Newegg allows 600$ worth of stuff just sit on my porch for 10 hours on the freaking coldest day of the year.Does any know if a mother board, CPU, ram,HDD,and PC case sitting out side in subzero weather?I think is kinda BS.

    should be alright but let it warm up to room temperature overnight before using it.

    As long as the temperature wasn't below about -20ºC all your stuff should be fine. The hard disk is the only genuinely vulnerable part about that, and as ddp said, if you let it warm up before you use it, it should be fine.
