-> ->  That is a VERY, VERY, VERY bad Idea as it applies to Electronic

-> -> solid state devices.

-> OK, never used the method myself.
-> My spare AT PS was so bad I just doused everything but the fan breifly
-> in 99 percent isopropyl alcohol.

-> Don't know how wise this was but the PS would soon be a loss otherwise
-> anyway. we'll see.

 In the old days I used Liquid Freon for cleaning Electronic assemplies.
That is Outlawed now of course now days as well as it's predicessor
CarbonTetrachloride. Which I used a number of gallons in my Much
Younger years.
 Another tip though for cleaning electronics is to uae a PH Netural Dish
Washing Detergent and Wash them. They dry them in an oven set at about
125 F
 Air drying in the sun on a warm day also works.
The only caution is to make sure they are Completly DRY before powering
up.
