My main concern with high temps would be the computer hard disk failing. I have had several external hard drives that apparently failed from being left in a car in the summer sun when I was away for 2 weeks.

I have insulation throughout my observatory so it does not reach those temps. But if it did I would consider a solar powered fan/vent with another to let in cooler air to keep it moving. I think the solar powered vents you can get from Jaycar Electronics.
