I had my PC laying on it's side at the time. The drink went through the vent on the window.
Well, three days ago, I spilled my drink on my PC. It got through one of the fan vents and landed right on the motherboard, right near the CPU. The PC was ON and RUNNING at the time the drink got on it. It shut off about 5 seconds after the drink made contact.
It looked like it was only a...
