because the way how air circulate under the table and some instalation gadgets
the best proof is that all of my PSU's still work fine, after summer and winter true tests
Superb! What are the lowest temperatures your rig has experienced in the winter? And what were the highest temperatures in summer? I really like your design!

I was thinking about this but then I changed my mind because the birds and insects would harm the Rig.

Still curious... unless you have an inlet of dry air coming in how does the table alone protect against humidity?

You say mobo and psu is proteted against humidity? how?
because the way how air circulate under the table and some instalation gadgets the best proof is that all of my PSU's still work fine, after summer and winter true tests Hot air being lighter than cool air, it create under the table a pocket of hot air protecting your hardware from humidity & such, i guess you didn't put it in a too much windy place ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) For the insect life i bet it would be enough to just have sides to keep the hot air, and a fine grill under to close up the rig space. Should also keep rodents out ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

the current project wouldnt work for windy installations i suppose, rain would just be blown sideways inside the container where i live the wind can blow rain at an almost 90° angle

It would be possible if you make a cube out of the table, you screw the tablefeet onto a wood plate, and weight it with a brick or 2, that should take care of the wind, just increase the size of the sides you could also put additional sides @45° angles to break the wind/rain but keep cool air coming. It wouldn't come as cheap as original solution but not that much more ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Hot air being lighter than cool air, it create under the table a pocket of hot air protecting your hardware from humidity & such,
that is exactly what I want to say... PSU is more sensitive for humidity than GPU's (e.g. my 750Ti were totally humidity resistant) and PSU takes an air a bit warmed by GPUs, so the humidity is decreased there

during that more than half of year - there were many rainy, really windy days that metal netting surface is just to catch a watter drops, and doubled one by one in 1cm distance - is just to catch most strong watter drops, which potentially goes beyond the first surface as I wrote somewhere: after some time, I forgot my early thoughts about switching it off during a storm

Done! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) P.S. I must add one more hint... it's nice to preserve SLI pins at least with some adhesive tape or plastic cover because some of pins may be dimmed after months
