Hi Gents,
I need advice on how to insulate as best as possible, an In-Car PC and Hard Disk from extreme vibration...
The PC will be installed in what would be the boot are of a large hatchback, with the rear seats removed, and replaced with a large subwoofer enclosure going right up to the B pillars...
The PC will sit behind this "speaker wall" at the back of the car...
So, how can I insulate the case and sensitive components from vibration? My thoughts so far...
- Use a bootable Flash Media drive for O/S and programs
- Use a 2.5" Laptop harddrive for storing movies/music etc
- Make an birch-ply case for the motherboard and components
- Sit this inside another, larger case, which will be lined with closed cell foam to give a snug fit
Any other suggestions? I'm worried about scapping hard drives regularly or the OS crashing due to the loud speaker system in the car...
Cheers
Rich
