    A couple of days ago I was enjoying a nice mug of green tea (well ok, I wasn't really enjoying it, but was drinking it never the less), and what should happen but I spill a bit on my hand, and out of reflex I hit the mug towards my tower....

    Luckly the side has mesh and glass, so most of it just slashed off, but quite a bit went on top were I have my top ports + on/reset buttons, and one fan intake leading directly to my cpu.

    What followed was a ninja dive to the mains off switch followed by some super quick towel action. No tea reached the fan intake, but lots had started to seep in through the ports. I opened it up and as quickly as I could started drying it, a bit of tea got on my graphics card, the top ports were soaked as well as the the plug sockets on both my hd and cd-drive, after drying it I left it a couple of days, and finally dared to turn it on, and it seems to all be working ok, still need to test the top usb ports, but both on and reset work, and my hd is fine, my graphics card seems to be ok, will test it with some cod4 in a bit.

    Anyone else been stupid enough to do this?

    I reckon the worst liquid you could spill would be lucozade, its such a sticky liquid to clean up I hate to think what kind of mess it would make of the inside of a pc.
