I had a bit of an emergency last night when a pipe burst and completely soaked my PC. It was probably wet for a couple of hours while still plugged in. I've flipped it upside down on a towel and have a fan gently blowing air into it. Is there any chance I can fix it, or is it a lost cause? What steps should I take to dry it out?

Honestly, it sounds like you might be in a tough spot. It's likely that the water damage is too severe. While some parts may survive, there's a good chance the computer won't work properly again, even if it does turn on later. Just keep your fingers crossed!
You could consider using 99% isopropyl alcohol to try and clean the components, but honestly, it might already be a lost cause. Be careful with it if you decide to go that route, though. Just drying it out now might not be enough.
That’s rough! Is there anything specific you think I should try before giving up? Maybe clean it or something?
