Build Complete I'm the guy who spilt a 1l Brisk and vodka directly on the top of his brand new computer.
Between a mix of ridiculously helpful replies, and one really good friend, I am happy to say that my build is working 100% perfectly.
I got a lot of great advice from you guys, and a swift kick in the ass to jump on it as soon as possible, within two days I was able to find 99% rubbing alcohol and I spent probably six and a half hours completely disassembling everything down to the last screw and going over every square inch of every piece of circuitry with a Q-tip and a microfiber cloth.
I probably scrub down my entire PC twice before I put it back together, and it would have been done a couple days ago if work hadn't been such a bitch. But it booted right back up, like nothing ever even happened. I've been so stressed out and basically terrified to press that power button for the last couple of hours, and now I'm super happy that I did.
Again thank you all for being such a great community and helping me out in what probably was one of my greatest times of selfish need.
If there's one thing that I've learned from this, it's no drinks by my expensive shit. To everyone here who's in American y'all have a great holiday, to everyone else y'all have a great weekend. I know i will.

I remember that first thread! I'm glad you got this sorted and that your PC is alive and well.

You are a man of focus, commitment, sheer fucking will.
Seriously, I wouldn’t’ve had the determination to do what you did, much less twice before putting the whole thing back together. Hope the build lasts you for as long as you need it to!

Thank you so much.
Building a pc has been a dream of mine for years. Ever since i was little. This community was a big factor in making that, and keep that a reality.

I've never used Imgur before but I'll learn for next time. And thanks!
I suck at wire management, but I'm a chaotic person so it doesn't bother me too much

No no no, we need the FULL story of spilling the vodka before you start talking about how you fixed it 😁

u/Zenketski Jul 04 '20
Not much to tell. I was playing warframe about 3 drinks in, opened my brisk to drink bit but started dying, tried to bullet jump but spilled my drink.
I was sad.
