On the subject of keyboards,
I've read many times before that it's okay to was your keyboard in the dishwasher (no heat drying of course).
Has anyone tried it...?
BTW, http://www.directron.com/internetprokb.html is my keyboard -- best one I've ever owned. On sale for $3.99 now
Assuming that you remove all the electronics from it first, then you should be left with plastic and rubber. Those should be fine to machine wash, although I've only hand-washed mine (an old Dell keyboard that had absorbed pretty much everything members of my family had been eating while using it).
Got all the crud off with a tub of warm soapy water and 20 mins out in the garden on a summer's day.
Currently I use one of these: http://www.enermax.co.uk/index.php?i...roduct=147&L=0. Yes, I do have the silver model and yes, it was a mistake. Although it does look nice it's far too shiny. I've had to adjust the lighting around me to prevent blindness setting in.
Even the board should be fine to wash assuming you ensure everything is discharged before it touches water and you give it ample time to dry. Likely however, you'll have a great risk that it is not completely dry as I imagine there is something in the keyboard that would soak water. Anyway, I've heard of people washing power supplies, having them work afterwards.Originally Posted by SMurf

I spilled beer on one once. I figured the damage was done regardless so I litterally ran the whole kit and kaboodle under the tap for a while, then flipped it upside down and left it in my closet for weeks. I've got tons of keyboards so I didn't really miss it. Months later and I'm typing on it now. Power Supplies on the other hand...
