->On the OUTSIDE, in their scrap yard, is where
most of the computer
->stuff ends up. I once found a WICAT *and* an EXORCISOR II out
->there-- both filled with water. (Sob!).
Heh, I would have used that to get them cheap. Then I'd take them home
wash them out throughly and disassembled and dried them well. Generally
water is not that damaging. Just done power them wet.
I would remove anything high-voltage (front end of the power supply) and
BAKE them for quite some time (a day is nice). Water has a way of getting
into windings and comprimising the insulation (remember, in a transformer
the insulation is _thin_ - often paper and painted on varnish).
