Leapinlew, you have definite cred then

Not looking for permission, just ideas other than the, "You know, moisture will be an issue.. " and the "why the F would you want to do that?" replies.
Just to give you guys an insight into the thought evolution:
Outside patio would be sweet with a b-b-q, built in cooler for beverages. Maybe a grill, sink, cooler. That was the initial thought.
Then I went over to an uncle's house, and saw his get-up, - grill, b-b-q, sink, cooler and TV.
Then thought it would be easy to wire speakers and such outside, for a TV, they have specific outdoor stuff for tv's and speakers and such, so why not add a laptop dock, and touchscreen, and have an outdoor jukebox? Then I thought, well if I have a TV and PC outside, why not add MAME to it?
So I need to figure out a way to make my controls weatherproof, so that all I would have to do is bring the laptop outside and dock it, instead of having to bring a box of crap out there to increase the entertainment factor...
