Casing your old PCBs?

<< < (2/6) > >>

AlanS17:
Anti-static bags are fine for storing electronics, but they shouldn't be anywhere near the thing while its actually got electricity running through it.

ChadTower:
Nor should you enclose something like that in a bag, it would fail from heat.

traknfieldSUPAstar:
Does it have to be totaly enclosed? I was thinking maybe you could mount the pcb to a piece of square acrylic/plastic/etc. Then use some spacers and bolts/screws to attach a matching square on top (sort of like a "pcb" sandwich)

AlanS17:
Well game PCB's come in all sizes and alot have multiples boards. It might be tricky to find an all-in-one solution unless it was just really big.

AlanS17:
How many boards are we talking about, anyways? If it's just a few you could get a multi-JAMMA and just leave them all plugged in all the time and just switch between them.

After you factor in the cost of materials and labor for a casing solution, the multi-JAMMA starts to look pretty darn good.
