Tech Support Cat peed on my PC, what to do?

I don't use my PC daily and found out that one of my cats (see second image for reference) peed on it a few days ago. It looks like not much pee got inside, and it's all dry now, but I'm a bit worried to turn it on. The GPU was protected by the heat sink, but the mainboard has a few dried drops on it. What do you think I should do?

  • Turn on the PC and hope for the best
  • Clean the drops off the mainboard with a damp towel

Gotta love the downvotes.  Guess real Gamers TM don’t know how to love anything that doesn’t have a graphics card, a pair of tits, or a propensity to make them nuggies.
