Terry Hurrle Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I have a pretty good sized locking tote and I want to mount my controllers in up side down and run the cords out grooves that are in the top of this. Looking at the controllers I see no problem but I wanted to ask before doing it. Reply or two please,Thank YouTerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ Hvasta Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Hey Terry, yes, no problems upside down, laying on it's face or back or even hanging from the gallows bwahahahahahaha!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfing4Dough Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Should be fine as long as the totes won't let any water in (where the cords run out of the "grooves") since water would then run into the only vulnerable part of the enclosure (where the cords enter it) that would now be on the top. Seal with silicone if there is a chance of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Hurrle Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 Here are pictures of the box. It will be wrapped in that plastic Christmas wrap looking bag along with a couple other boxes under the mega tree and chained to the tree. If they want it they will have to tear the whole tree down.

Terry Hurrle Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 That is why I posted it so others may use the idea if they wish to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-Paul Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Just got to ask. Why? Why do you feel the need to mount the controllers upside down? By doing so, you risk the chance that the water will run along the wires and then down into your controllers. Now true I believe the odds are slim. But why chance fate?But then too, not my controllers or my problem. But had to ask, why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Hurrle Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 I doubt that there will be water getting into the box. It will be wrapped in a plastic Christmas wrap and there is a flashing where the cords come out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wbottomley Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Just remember... when you mount them upside down, you'll have to program your sequences backwards. If you don't, they will look weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas M. Fazekas Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Terry. I agree with Max - Paul. Condensation will eventually form on your AC dongles and water droplets will run back into your controllers no matter how good you seal your case. In an indoor setting this would not be a problem. To be safe I would mount the AC dongles down and let gravity work for you. That's just my 2 cents.Good Luck............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
