To answer your question on putting a computer out in the shop, why not get a computer designed for an industrial environment like this

or

If you are dedicated to OSX (eww) then another option would be to get a MacMini and monitor and mount them in a Plexiglas box with a metal (preferably copper) back and add some form of active cooling like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103195
