The thing is that machine works correctly for 40-50 mins, then malfunctions begin to appear - it does not run a file, when button is pressed and some other. Or it ruins a part, just as if motor had lost steps, but the trick is that next part if good without rehoming or any other activity taken - just change material and run the file. And the more machine is running the more often these malfunctions appear. That tells me that some parts in machine are overheating and thus not functioning properly. I would like to blame the dust that gets in all the narrow places on the boards and disturb normal heat dissipation. > If you want to enclose the computer in a box, fit a fan on the side > pushing air into the box.

That is why I would like to put them in totally sealed box. In that case I could implement water cooling for PC components.

Any idea, how to do that in a cost-effective way?
