The Bathroom PC

[TheDingo]

No, I'm not refering to the "PC built in a toilet" from Quakecon, and I'm not kidding . I love using PCs where they weren't ment to be (just look at the PCamero in my rigs). I have a PC in every room in my appartment except my bathroom..... and it's lookin pretty lonely in there....
So now I'm toying with the idea of THE BATHROOM PC! Surf the net from the crapper! Hell with old magazines, you can have the ultimate bathroom books...
Anyway, the reason this is in the tech forum is because there are two concerns on this PC; sanitation and moisture. Here's what I've thought about so far:
MB and CPU: MicroATX with video built in to the back of the cabinet where it is dry and cool.
HDD: Small with WinMe
NIC:Little 10bt for surfing the net
Output: One of those flexible, waterproof keyboards. No mouse (navigate with keyboard).
Display: Here's the tough one. Thinking of going with a cheap LCD and sealing it, but what about heat? This won't be running for any length of time so I don't think it should be a factor. More afraid of steam from the shower screw it up.

This is an EXTREMELY insane idea, but I'm bored and crazy enough to do it. Any ideas? :Q

I've got a Visor Plat, but don't know jack about getting it on the net. Besides, this way sounds more interesting

I-Opener, HAHAHAHAHA. /me imagines someone walking into to bathroom with me sitting on the pot wearing glasses and typing. I would have definitely hit an all time low... but then again... chatting on the throne...
