I am looking to install three computer systems on board a outdoor
vehicle. I understand from others who have done this that the rough
terrain does wonders for the electronics equipment, ie., chips being
displaced from their seats, hard drive crashing or becoming useless.
My biggest worry is the hard drive going bad:)

So, my question is, does someone have experience with shock absorption
for electronics equipment? Currently we plan to install a PC clone, a
Sun IPX and a VME chassis on board the vehicle, as well as all of the 
power amps, controls equip and sensors.

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Send responses to
bidlack@engin.umich.edu.

Thanks much.

Clint
