The worst possible scenario has happened to me. Let me explain this nightmare..
So last night I came home from my job with Taco Bell to eat. So I ate at my computer desk in front of my monitor watching some Hulu, afterwards played a few games of league with some buddies and went off to bed. Normal night right? Wrong. I woke up the next morning to find a Taco Bell cup, with the lid still on, upside down on top of my PC’s top fan opening, with a puddle of Mtn Dew underneath it. Turns out one of my cats had tipped it over in the middle of the night. So I did what any PC enthusiast did and cursed and said every cuss word in the book.. but I also pulled my machine apart and looked the damage.. everything smelled of burnt electronics.. my graphics card and mobo, soaking wet.. power supply sitting in a puddle..
I think I got my point across.. anyways I’ve never had a scenario like this happen to me before.. but I’m assuming everything is fried.. my only concern is my storage unit.. it was untouched through all of this madness because of its location.. would it still be useable once I replace all of my parts? Should I even try? Or is there a risk of damaging my new components? Also can I reuse my current PC case if I clean it thoroughly? Thanks in advance!
