water proofing computer

anybody ever water proof their computer?

in my bronco whenever i do a water crossing all i do is wrap it in a plastic bag then when iam done i remove it the rest of the truck is water proof but it takes too long to wrap it all the time i do like the EFI cause i can run it at any angle and it dont stall i would just leave it in the bag but i am worried about it overheating and shorting out

you tried silicone around the edges where water can get in? that is about the best thing. why do you have to take the bag off? can't you leave it on?

Try moving the computer? Put it up high enough where you'll drown before it will
