This past week I attended a LAN party at a friend's house. However, the day it ended, it was raining heavily, and I had literally a carload of computer hardware to move. I covered everything with reasonably heavy blankets (so they absorb water, as opposed to drip it) and procedded to load up. However, once everything was loaded, I noticed that my desktop's back panel was exposed. The back panel didn't face up at all, but rain could have blown in. Is it probable that some components were damaged? Would any damage be immidiatly apparent? Could any damage incurred cause damage to future components (ie kill a brand new video card etc)? I have not powered up the machine yet as a precaution and it has been more than 24 hours since it was exposed. At the time of exposure, the PSU switch was in the on position, if that hasany significance. Any answers and help are appreciaed, I am very concerend about this, hopefully without good reason...
