    Exactly. why would anyone ever need that intense cleaning of their mobo? How dirty does it get and how does it get that dirty?

    The guy never actually put everything back together and show it working either! Can you imagine during Windows load process the background started displaying soap bubbles?

    But I do the keyboards in the dishwasher once in a blue moon (when they get really dirty).

    water isn't going to hurt the board. they are washed after they are soldered.

    The thing is, by the time equipment gets dirty enough to need cleaned, its obsolete enough to be replaced. Maybe blow the dust out of fins and fans and sandwich crumbs out from under your keys, but thats all.

    *sigh* I'm with Mathster...by the time it needs a cleaning like that it's OLD and CRUSTY. Keyboards sure, but I think that's where I'll draw my line.
