i wo9uldnt mind a heater :) anyone know where to get them?

I do not use one, but then again it is quite dry in Colorado. I suggest if you really cant get one to make sure you coat the back of your board with some dielectric grease, It has worked wonders for me.

Good luck with the hunt, Ill go and google around. I wonder if Grier @ kitronics has any he wants to part with?

does anyone has a pic of how they have done to protect tjeir mainboard against condens?

You can get heaters from car wing mirrors( very good idea Marci):) Just go to scrap yard and find a car with heated mirrors and smash them. There should be a similar heating element in there as Prometeias use.
