Weatherproofing a laptop

[Fred Weston]

Hi guys, thought I'd drop my 2 cents... Here in Fla right on the ocean
we have a wisp that uses completely sealed enclosures.  Standard 12"
electrical junction boxes made from PVC, they paint them white to cut
down on heat absorbtion.  They don't have heat or condensation issues,
but they replace equipment frequently due to lightning.  Maybe throw a
couple packs of silca gel in to help soak up any moisture in the box?
