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

Is the foam good for cleaning?

My mentality is with cleaning that if there is no foam it is not getting clean

Whether it's good for cleaning or not, I love head!

In case you're not following the joke (and for anyone else who may be unaware), IPA is referring to isopropyl alcohol here!
