Outdoor cabinet
Donkbaca:
Anyone built one? How do you keep moisture out and keep the darned thing ventilated? What materials did you use?
bkenobi:
First, I'd never put any electronics outside without having a roof over them. At that point, I'd just expect that over time moisture WILL get into the cabinet and anything that can't handle it will require replacing. You can put some things in outdoor electrical boxes, but if they need venting, that won't work obviously. I'd just keep it covered from the rain and be happy with it while it's working.
FrizzleFried:
Yeah.... I built an outdoor cabinet... a really big one.
Donkbaca:
That cabinet is too big, I bet the bezel on it is enormous and the CP looks to user unfriendly...
Thinking about maybe a sort of deal where its a cabinet that has a laptop as its brains, so you can bring that in when not in use and dock it for when you want to play. Then you just need a weather proof screen, cabinet and wiring....
mgb:
It also depends on where you live. Does it get below freezing.
Anything is possible to build, it's a question of how time and money.
