need to fabricate some type of insulated computer tower mount

[Spur]

OK. Thanks for the input. I definitely want to incorporate some type of hard-wired, dedicated computer into this vehicle, since it's going to be 'da brains' (music/entertainment, climate control, video monitoring, etc.). And I'd have to spend a ****-ton of money on a laptop to get the performance out of it that I've got in this desktop (not that it's anything special).

What's going to fail? The motherboard? The hard-drives? I didn't think this would be such a big deal, but I can get serious about building a better computer case/mount if I need to.

I'm planning on installing a simple foam filter behind that mesh, but we're going to be running and air filtration/pressurization system like this, so I wasn't TOO worried about air quality. Should I be?

Appreciate all the help.

IMO, the only weak point is the hard drive. They don't like too much vibration. The other components are all solid state and I can't see them being damaged by vibration. I would put the hard drive into a shock-absorbing carrier.

You could of course make your own. Suspend it in a frame, held in place by bungee cords. Or use a laptop hard-drive. They are designed to withstand more vibration than a desktop drive.
