And don't forget all the extra shielding you need to protect circuitry from solar winds.

Or you could use Athlon Duron processors.

In that case, the solar winds would need extra circuitry to protect it from the heat of the processor.

maybe they'll be used to heat the moon base.

You're saying the dark side of the moon isn't cold?

Or only that there is no way for the heat to move away once created?

I'm saying that you need something to transfer heat to in order to cool an object. In a vacuum, there is nothing to transfer that heat to - it doesn't just "bleed off into space" or anything.

And the dark side of the moon being cold has nothing to do with it being in a vacuum, I don't even see where you get that.
