hi last nite in my (now) ex's drunken rage because i have been playing to much black ops accordidng to her se decided to pour half a pint of sweet white wine all over the top of my pc is sig and as it being the RV01 case which all the componants a are vertical with a massive vent at the top it didnt not go to well (just acted as a big funnel) 
as it crashed a second later i got what looked like memory BSOD
then i turned it off at the mains sharpish then after i threw her out i took all the rig apart the mobo looked okay quite a lot off splash on the water block and a bit round the cpu socket and vrm i was wondering if i would be able to salvage the cpu and possible the mobo as for thr ram i think this is defo dead as i took it of wine was dripping from the heat sinks on them they are the ocz reapers both gpu's look fine front and back but all the wine would have gone down the heat exshast hope fully this might be ok ?
i was wondering what would be the best course of action as i was thinking .....
1. leave all the componants to dry out and put them back together all stick with dry wine on them and hopefully it might work
Q. if i done this could his cause more damage or would i cause more damage cleaning it ?
2. get all the parts a new soft tooth brush aqua pure non condustive water and clean all the parts and scrub them like new clean the heat sinks as the dust and sticky wine might not work so well together and leave thm all to dry and re-apply some tim and fingers crossed it might work
Q. does these seem like a good idea or a huge waste of time and money as there is no hope for any off the componants ??
3.i have a second i7 rig i could test all the parts on and see what works and what doesnt and buy new parts and throw the broke parts away
Q.if i start putting these damaged parts in a working rig damage the working one and ill be left with none ?
any help would be most helpfully i have only just got the other rig working now this goes and happens not happy
