I didn't know where else to post this, so I thought I'd start here. I have a Coolermaster HAF case with a fan at the top... a blessing until early this morning. I spilled a little water on the top of the case. Naturally, the majority of my components got sprinkled on except for the power supply, which the graphics card shielded.
It's also important to note that the computer was OFF at the time, as no lights were on.
I immediately began taking the computer apart, setting the mobo and the graphics card aside so I could dry things. The amount of water was not as bad as I might make it sound. I dabbed a paper towel on the graphics card to pick up all the droplets of water. Incleaned around the mobo and got all the visible droplets of water. I've had those two components sitting in front of a fan for the past 8 hours or so.
Is there anything else I should be aware of before I proceed to put everything back together? I know there have been worse accidents, where some spilled an entire cup of liquid onto their electrical components, but I'm not playing it down when I say this was no more than a tablespoon of water that splattered onto the top of the case, which then dripped onto the components below.
