Computer boots up, but no display. The CPU led is a solid red.

I spilled a small amount of water on top of the tower and I think at most a few drops fell inside through the fan holes. It was running at the time and a few minutes later it powered down.

No visible damage to anything - I have it an hour or so while I unplugged everything and reassembled. Same result.

What are the possibilities here?

Will give it 24hours before trying again.

Only evidence I found of water getting inside was a couple drops on the jagged blue metal frame around the CPU. Possible that some hit the PSU, but no way for me to be sure - dont see anything.

Well the red led for the CPU is on so you can fairly safely determine the problem is with the CPU at the moment. I will suggest the following. First wait another 24hours (I recommend 24+ hours in a non-humid environment - up to 72 hours if humid in your area) then reset your CMOS. If nothing then, remove CPU and then reseat it - you will need to clean off and apply new thermal compound to the heatsink when you do that. If the red led remains on after that, I would think the CPU (could be motherboard though) would be in need of replacement
Hope it helps
