    Waterproof motherboard?

    Ive got it! Apj101 is right. A comprimise is nesersary. The perspex waterproof tub for the electronics is obviously the most sensible option but asthetically not what I was after at all. So hows about turning one of these http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/singing-fish-original.jpg into a...

    Waterproof motherboard?

    I could vacuum form the motherboard and connected components in such a way that i could include the water cooling components, and the required pipes for a decent air flow system. This would surely keep all the components well ventilated and watertight enough?

    Waterproof motherboard?

This link was in another post on here, so i stole it. http://home.versatel.nl/robertstoppels/274_big.jpg .This is what i want to create, but without the...

    Waterproof motherboard?

    another option i have just thought of is vacuum forming around the gubbins (the 'board,ram,psu,cf hdd,etc) which, for thouse who dont know, is when you heat up plastic so it gets a bit flexible, and then suck it down really hard onto the object underneath, completly encasing it in plastic. But...

    Waterproof motherboard?

    The "gubbins" tub was a last resort really, but ultimatly the most practical. It would have hoses sucking the air in and blowing it out so would also be kept cool especially with the water cooling. The question is though, what can i sealmy motherboard with to stop water getting to it? It needs...

    DVD spits out blanks 1% through burn

    I dont get any error messages. I am using nero 6. It will burn Cd's fine and it used to burn dvd's, the same media, from the same spindel infact, it'll just spit them out as though someone presses eject. Then nero will just tell me the burn has failed on 4x.
