weatherproof enclosure

[nianderson]

any reccomendations on a weather proof enclosure for housing some wireless equipment?

[hbmartin]

You'll have to be more specific in your question.
What kind of wireless equipment?
More importantly, what kind of weather?
Following the question above, what do you mean by "weather proof"?

I can think of lots of suggestions but I would need to know what hbmartin was asking, plus how much heat the item/s gave off since just sealing it in something might not work if it produces too much heat.

[nianderson]

well this is going to sit on the top a a 40 story building in kansas city
temprature ranges from -10 to 115 F with rain and snow ect...
an access point is going to be in the housing with a pcmcia card in it and an antenna running out of the box

build a sealed wooden enclosure. If heat is a problem, raise it and have it open underneath. I assume theft is not a problem? If so you have to use some sort of metal, but be careful as that might play havoc with the signals.

I read something a year or so about someone who did that. He took a linksys router and used an outdoor waterproof wiring box from a hardware store,
