Maybe I've been lucky but I've never found this to be a problem. It
is true that Mrs B likes a soft ride however.



It seems to me with one of the small "Shuttle" PCs, so long as you
arranged for cooling access, you could mount the box itself inside a
carved block of shock-absorbing foam, and then attach the works to a
gimbal bracket. But I haven't spent any real time conjuring this...yet.
