Marinize a PC motherboard

I have a Mac Mini which I would like to use to run MacENC on board. I would like to know if there is a treatment you can buy to spray on the motherboard and components to keep moisture away. Any ideas?

Liberally with Corrosion Block TM

I would spray it very liberally with Corrosion Block (Tm). This is about the only one of the many products that actually works. I once saw a color TV completely immersed in it while showing the TV stations, and the remote worked through the plastic case it was in. It was quite amazing.

Spend some time looking around at those PC overclocking websites. Overclocking is the process of changing the power attributes on a PC chipset to raise the internal clock speeds beyond what is published. The effect is a faster system. The byproduct is more heat.

There is a cooling method for people who overclock that uses peltier heat sinks and even water-based radiator cooling systems. Those inherently build up moisture, and a properly build overclocked system will have protective coatings in place where there are some moisture threats.

I say that to say that you should find out what they use, and spray it over your system. I would avoid spraying on heat radiators and possibly on unused connectors, where they could block current. You could use a silicone paste for that, just like that used on a spark plug boot.
