Long story short, tomorrow I'll likely have to leave my computer and monitors (144hz asus and a 60hz acer) in the trunk of my car for several hours. I checked the weather and apparently it should be around 35-40F, but it may go lower.
Is this safe, or should I try to figure something else out? I'll be transporting them in their original cardboard boxes, if that's any sort of insulation. I know I shouldn't turn it on immediately after I set it back up due to condensation, but anything else I should be worried about?

I'd be more worried about them being stolen from your trunk. The big thing to worry about here is condensation, but it's a non-issue if you leave them in a warm dry room for a bit before turning them on.

The only thing I'd worry about is the monitors. Most of the electronics in your PC should be fine, just try to avoid condensation inside the case if you can.

you have nothing to worry about

Electronics love the cold. It's heat you need to worry about! Screen might display things really slowly until it warms up, everything else will run better. You'll want to put them outside more often.

those are pretty mild temperatures, the only thing to worry about should be theft. Risk of condensation is pretty low but you may want to wait a little bit to power them on.
