You guys have to be sick of me talking about my computer by now but anyways I am ecstatic to say that my champion of a PC is running strong again. My video card was as I expected (unfortunately) fried. That 'ol GTX 260 was one of the most impressive pieces of equipment I have ever had the fortune to own, and easily one of the best $200 I've spent. And I will miss it.
Ran up to Best Buy and got a GT 430 for the time being - it's like a tenth of the mass of the GTX 260, no joke. Not sure what card I should get now, probably a GTX 300 series.
So so so so SOOOOO happy my computer is alright, and definitely didn't think I'd be on it again in just 20 hours (more like days or weeks). And guys, if your computer would be in danger if liquid landed on your case, make sure there's no feasible way for this to happen. It's bad.
