I can't help but ask, why did you put your motherboard in a dishwasher?

I was changing cases, and the Ethernet port had failed some time previously. At that point I had washed many keyboards, so I said, why not? The port works now, and the board has been running well for 2-3 years since then.

So, by my reckoning:

1 Dishwasher 10 points
2 Clothes washer 5 points (jury's out on this one)
3 Oven Nul point.
4 Airing cupboard 10 points (for 12 hours)

I would agree. I had a cellular phone go through the clothes washer with no adverse affects, but I imagine the dishwasher would be better because its meant for breakable things. Just the sound of electronics in an oven is bad... although I have heard of old film being microwaved for 30 seconds to warm it up.

That's a gutsy move right there. Thanks for sharing, I'd never have the nerve to try that myself I'd be too worried about the hot water warping something.
