Anyone ever built a small compression test tank for computers and camera housings?

One of those things that is obvious, once it has been pointed out, is that you should minimize the amount of air in the system. Water is nearly incompressible and so water under pressure stores very little energy. Compressed air stores energy and will release it all if the pressure pot fails.Add a couple of holes through the top to add and remove the air and your done.
Now just add water, what you want to test, close it up and add some air on top. 14.7 psi per 33' you want to test to. I have tested my stuff to 150 psi or about 335'.
