Paint the motherboard white and start adding other colors for details, then hang it on the wall. :D

You should practise modding it, see if you can take the pcie slots off and then solder them back on...

Maybe I should take the x16 slot and add to my main board.

There's nasty chemicals in there. Might die or at the very least, get very very sick.

Actually, there's no problem with washing off your motherboard, as long as it's thoroughly dry before you turn it on. Water is conductive, so getting water on it while powered up is bad, but there's not usually anything on the board that is soluble, or otherwise damaged merely ny the presence of water.

looong time ago like in the 386 days ... my dad used to scrub out the motherboard with soap and water when he had to clean it then he would hang it on a line for a day to dry. Once the board was dry he would put the pc back together and go along using a clean pc... with respect to what u can do with a broken motherboard ... well something like what i have going on in my profile pic 

(1) high frame rate (2) ultra graphics settings (3) cheap...>> choose only two<<...

 

if it's never been done then i'm probably tryna do it. (((((((Bass so low it HERTZ)))))))

should I bake it in the oven?

hah, actually, that's not a bad idea. As long as you don't over heat the caps, you could take off all of the capacitors and save them for a fun project. Or heck, you could even put them on ebay. I'm sure someone is looking for some kind of specific capacitor for something
