water proofing

[Fuse]

Hey. I am working on a design and want to know how could i make the computer (around the area - the base) water proof? just incase I'm moving the PC and i get a spill.
Thanks

You could probly make a wall between the base and the hard ware with a rubber O ring around the edges other then if your moving it put sponges or somthing around to soak up water in case.

You could put silicone water proofing caulking wherever there could be a leak from. We did that with a lot of stuff for our boat.

along the lines of what xRyokenx said I have found this to be the best silicone,i have ever used http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=47970-72643-GE5000&lpage=none and if you want paintable silicone try

I thought about it all the fish tanks i have had and not one leak ever if it does that good of a job kepping water in surely it will keep it out, lol hope that helps a little

Well you could build a box and raise the case up off the desk.

You shouldn't get a spill if you build the water cooling loop properly. A closed system should only spill if there is a breakage in the system, or if you open the fill port or drain plug.

Nah its not for water cooling...its for a water feature, check the ideas section and look at the BioShock one
