    Almost there....just a few surface mount components to remove then going to try a brillo pad on the board to try and make the traces more visible....

    Couldnt believe the components just fall off when u put it over the cooker ring......heat it up and one small tap and u got a pile of components

    Except the small surface mount resister and the like have to brush them off
    :D

    Motherboard as mouse mat (Update)

    Well all the components are off...bit of wet and dry to get rid of the remaining solder then a brilo pad to bring the traces to the surface....

    Cut it up for coasters?
    Mount it in one sidepanel instead of a window? With a strong enough light behind it, it should glow interestingly! :thumb:

    (I don't have an old mobo around, so anyone who wants to run with these, go nuts! :D )

    Forgot to say, I didn't make it, my dad got it off a supplier at work.
    Everything is removed on it and it's completely smooth.

    You should coat the pcb with envirotex. It's a clear epoxy compound. Zapwizard used it to create his wooden mousepad.

    Thx for that was also thinking of using some sort of epoxy for the coating to totally encase the mobo.....

    Will sort something out :rock:

    ...put it in a frame-taken :D

    I have a fully functional ASUS P/I-P55T2P4 Board haning on the wall here. (unsolderd keyboard connector.. it looked ugly)

    I might try out this mousemat idea :)
