After benching on DICE/Ln2, you may find yourself with a wet or soaked motherboard that needs to dry asap for the next benchsession. Or you may have spilled coolant all over and don't wanna wait days for it to dry. Throw it in the dryer with a dryer rack:

The trick with the dryer is to use the low heat setting and of course that shoe dryer rack that comes with these types of dryers.
The high heat is definitely a bit warm for my tastes, medium not so bad but just to be safe, low!

Aww. I thought you built that rack :p
would not be hard though if you have a dryer where the back does not move though (brace on front in the vent braced on back with some strong magnets).
Most dryers I have seen though hte whole inside rotates.
Need to get "The Club" or some time of locking extension poles to mount inside the dryer, strap a board to it and let it "spin dry" with some low heat :)
