Putting in too much voltage or short circuiting can cause your board to fry.

How does that happen, anyway? I never figured that out.

The carpet is nonconductive. When you walk on it, or create any kind of friction, you might build up a static charge. And when that static charge is discharge into electronics, disaster may follow.

No, he was clearly referring to "too much voltage".

Don't forget mixing up the positive lines and the ground! That'll fry your boards in an instant.

I like my motherboards deep fried. I typically use peanut oil as it is allot lighter and has less saturated fats then normal frying oils. I use a mixture of cornmeal and cajun spices for a tasty breading.

Bread the motherboard by placing it in a ziplock bag of the breading and shake the bag. Try to ensure an even coating.

Heat the oil to 375* F and dip the breaded motherboard into the oil. Wait for about 5-8 minutes of till golden brown in color. Remove from the oil and enjoy your fried motherboard.
