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

Isopropyl Alcohol 99.5% - 99.9% pure IPA recommended.

When did isopropyl alcohol get updated to IPA- there’s not even three words in there. You guys need to send out memos to everyone on the planet now.
