Request to all the W/C guys. I am trying to find a better box to mount my computer in. Right now I have it in a ammo box but not real pleased with the way I have the wires ran to it and how it is waterproofed.

I like Plumberbill's enclosure. How do you have the wiring waterproofed going into it?

All pics and ideas greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Unless you plan on being a submarine, total waterproofing is not that important. As long as you can power wash the box and it stays dry inside, your good to go.
It would be difficult to do a total liquid tight enclosure.
Ammo cans usually work out fine for that stuff depending on the size of your computer.

where the loom goes into the box, i used clear latex caulk and coated the loom about 3-4 inches down from the box. home depot has waterproof tape that streches and seals (in the hvac area) just about anything, i am going to wrap it with that.
