Hey folks
I have been thinking about dumping a motherboard along with graficscard and what else there might be sitting on the motherboard, down into a box fillede with ethanol (to some extend), just like people do with mineral oil. The only difference is that I want to make the container air proof and use a water pump to get som circulation. I would also send the ehtanol (via the circulation created by the pump) through a small single fan radiator.
Now, I think of making the container of plexi glass, sealed with silicone.
Would the ethanol desolve the plexi and/or the silicone (the same applys for the PCBs)?
Would i work for me?

I have discussed it a bit with Myth yesterday, and I came to the conclusion to ask ind here.

BTW. I am in the right forum right?
