I'm looking for a case for a DSL box that I can mount near saltwater, so I want to minimize the air exchange though the unit to reduce corrosion.

I've found very few cases that don't at least have vent holes.
This one: Serener GS-L02 looks promising, but is pretty steep at $170.

Performance needs are minimal- 800MHz - 1Ghz fine I think.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks-

Zeph

How big a case? I knew a guy out in the shipyard who kept his in a large ziplock to protect it from the wet enviroment, he had one of those small ones like in the dsl store. He used the ziplock side to close around the wires, then a little duct tape to further seal around the wires. It's cheap but it worked for him.lol :laugh:

Thanks for the note, but I need something that a little more presentable to an end customer.

Although maybe that opens up a new market for me- The redneck duct tape crowd.

Idea already taken. I was in a Fry's and saw 'NASCAR' PC's.

I think the VoomPC cases, which are all aluminium, don't have many holes. I have used various electronic equipment on board a sailboat that Ilived on for more than a year, and never had a corrosion problem.
