Shielding electronics from electromagnetic pulses?

But not Solar Flares I believe.
There's usually two approaches to rugging electronics.
a) Encase the whole thing in a thin layer of metal
b) Encase the parts that can be damaged in a thin layer of metal.

2nd post.
[QUOTE=Metalcastr;20906544]Faraday cage, surge protectors? Of course a lightning strike will blast through surge protectors, so it's best to unplug devices in a storm. I unplug my computer during a severe storm.[/QUOTE]
Do you listen to yourself when you talk?
or replace every transistor with vacuum tubes.

Best idea in the whole thread. I'm not being sarcastic either I find this to be one of the best posts of the thread.

Really? So that Core i7 CPU with about 800 Million transistors with be replaced with a building full of them? Along with the whole chipset and other controllers. Pretty much everything that contains silicon.
Tin foil on head.
I have a faraday wallet, it might work if you make a big ass one.
I think 3 feet of concrete would do it.

What about replacing the 5970.
