Thomas 0 Posted May 18, 2004 I don't know of any cases just for DVRs that are shock proof, but there is a company called BSI that makes fairly shock proof PCs. The down side is that they tend to be really flaky with any really powerful PCI cards. Tom Techincal Support Video Insight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zyra Tech 0 Posted May 19, 2004 http://www.gdcanada.com/land/ruggedized_computer_systems.html Something along this line, only less expensive? I have to tell you about a guy who we came across that made his own "shock resistant" computer by having the whole thing submerged in mineral oil. i am not joking!

I have to tell you about a guy who we came across that made his own "shock resistant" computer by having the whole thing submerged in mineral oil. i am not joking! http://www.bsicomputer.com/portable/pcatxr9/pcatxr9_intro.htm Not really cheaper, but in the same general range. The downside is that it's milspec. It's all lowest bidder hardware inside there and I've heard horror stories about them just not getting along with even low power PCI cards. The higher end ones also have heat problems. It's a small case with poor to alright airflow. But if you add a card you're going to make it worse. Now as far as using mineral oil for shock resistance, it works, but diesal fuel is the recomended liquid. Tom Techincal Support Video Insight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
