Yeah so was running caseless, and the windows were open in a rain storm. rig got wet. 4 days later it still doesnt work. :( the rig was NOT turned on when it got wet.

heres what ive done:

run psu and mobo: fans spin, obviously nothing on screen and no beeps
psu, mobo, and cpu: 1 short beep, 1 long
psu, mobo, cpu, and 1 stick ram: turns on, fans slow down as they should, nothing on screen from igp

thats all I have tried, any more ideas? I'm thinking mobo is toast, and maybe cpu and psu. HOPING my 2 x 2gb and 8800gts survive.
 
was the power supply physically turned on (the switch on the back) and was it plugged in ?,

If it was, it was still giving power, and your components are probably toast.
 
could have been residual energy in the psu if u just turned if off prior to the storm. In that case, it'd be just like having it on. It's likely you shorted the psu and that's the piece that had died.

Sure you probably have other problems but the power starts and ends with the psu.
 
yeah the psu was most wet of all and was plugged in. I wasnt home for a few days and came home and it was all wet....wasnt even thinking. The cpu and mobo were cheap, so I am really hoping gpu and ram are ok. I'm pretty sure hdds will be fine, they didnt get wet at all. wish me luck.
 
Heh, none of my caseless systems are near a window. ;) Good luck!
