Disk read error after hoovering PC

[bledd]

You had PC components next to a sink of water? I've had pendrives through the wash that have been OK as long as they're FULLY dry before you try to use it again.

On a related note, where is the best place (if it's not a competitor) nowadays to get compressed air from? It tends to be very expensive in a lot of places, and OcUK don't seem to stock it.

i was doing my final leak test (had done a test whilst not connected up to components)

wanted to make sure there were no leaks whilst on the mobo tray. connected up to tap, and let it run.

the problem is, it was the same sink that i'd make the dog's food in, so she got excited , house phone rang, i turned the tap off and went to get it, by the time i'd come back, the dog had put her paws up to the sink and all my kit fell in

I wouldn't know where to buy it from but I'd be tempted to use my tyre pump. Not sure how effective it would be though, you might need to pump something up with it and then release the air from that? Any thoughts on what would be effective for that?
