A sudden storm occurred recently, and I quickly closed the windows. Water sprayed onto my PC, and I unplugged it right away. There’s still a small amount of water inside. Is this a concern?

Make sure everything is completely dry before connecting it again.

Putting a cup of rice in aids the drying process by removing any leftover moisture. I’d leave it undisturbed without power for roughly six to eight hours to ensure it’s fully dried.

rice needs several days, not just hours, and doesn’t work as well as people believe. If I were you, I’d remove each part separately and dry them individually using a heat gun or hairdryer. Make sure the container is completely dry before putting it back together, and wait about 2 to 3 days before reassembling. It might sound extreme, but I’d rather avoid it since computers aren’t inexpensive.

It seems like you're suggesting that keeping your PC close to a window isn't a good idea right now.

Take everything off. Dry everything well. Dry case well inside and out. Put every parts in a bag with some silica gel packs, or just put some silica gel packs on 'em. Especially on crevices and port holes. Leave untouched for days. Pray to every celestial beings Overdoing? No such thing when it comes to my PC safety.

I initially shared the same perspective until I relocated across several college dorms. Occasionally, arranging a space isn't straightforward.
