I've heard of people running them through the dishwasher before. Not something I would want to try, but I guess it works.
Distilled water? I use regular sink water with no problems. I use warm water, a toothbrush and some liquid soap on mine.
People should just be careful if they have particularly hard water or other issues that would leave residue, etc upon drying.

I'm in Hawaii so we have the best drinking water plus I use a PUR filter as well. Have yet to see any residue.

Same with Xian Xi. Warm tap water, some mild detergent, and a soft toothbrush. Just make sure there's no power whatsoever to the board (read: take the battery out). Did that on 2 slot MVS, I just let it dry for several days standing on its side.
I have a Garou MVS cart that had a rather smelly, corrosive substance spilled on it, and it did not work.
Any advice on cleaning CPS-2 boards?
The board "lives" one hour without battery (according to... don't remember now), but I think the water could make a mess, shorting the remaining energy stored on the capacitors and erasing the decryption data.
The problem is without water is near impossible to clean a dirty -very dirty- pcb anyway!
