My older computer (used as a file server) was next to my washer that was leaking. Its a little room. barley enough for that all. I had the computer laying mobo down. There was a big leak that was spewing water "Conveniently" right into the back. The board has massive spots of blue everywhere. Need to get this system running asap. Thanks!
Es esta una buena pregunta?

@e_ah ahhh water damage....
need to take everything out...... take pics.... on it
any configuration on HDD ? like RAID or just standalone?
I guess right now, remove the hdd first. check for any water marks / corrosion , etc.
if all is good, and ensure there is no liquid, you will need to hook on another working system to recover your files, providing is standalone.

It is RAID. 3 2TB WD hdd's. Thankfully the hdd are above the water line. There is a few blue spots around densely populated areas. Also keep in mind this is soapy water too. The case is pretty slippery. I have alredy removed all components and cleaned them in alcohol. Im going to let those sit overnight. The psu is rusty inside so thats going in the bin. I will update you in the am.
The alcohol got rid of the blue but not the rust on the screws and case. Its it time for a new computer do you think this is salvageable?
what RAID configuration did you set for your drives? i guess now your data is the concern now, but it is good to have a new system ready.
I used Raid 0
and to check if your RAID configuration is done on the mainboard or you have another RAID card to manage those drives?
recovering RAID 0 drives can be tricky, due to different controllers, and configuration, do proceed with caution, i would recommend you to label the drives and which sata ports is being connected to the SATA ports on the previous mainboard.
some good read,

i dun go for RAID 0 due to no fault tolerance.
normally the systems that was configures is raid 1
and another hdd to use as a back up .... e.g. using acronis, if windows.
or even better, backup to NAS
