[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1246560, member: 3187"] It will also reduce thermal dissipation from hot parts, My Tomtom takes a couple of amps at 5 volts from its charging cradle (and, presumably, from its internal battery if not being charged), that's 10 watts to dissipate. If the air can't circulate within it, my guess is something's going to get hot in there, probably the main computer chip. IMHO, that part of your post is not such a good idea, the other suggestions are good. [COLOR=#a9a9a9][SIZE=12px]I'm a retired electronics engineer, worked designing instrumentation mostly for use within aero engines in extreme environments, including rotating within the engine - ambient temperatures routinely at 120C, 250F, occasionally up to 180C, 360F.
