Well, I put it back together and booted it up last night. I think it 
needs some more drying time :(

I think the HD and motherboard and everything actually within the case 
is fine. However, the screen has been badly affected - it has big glare 
artifacts across more than a quarter of its area, although all the 
pixels seem to be firing OK so maybe the moisture is in a different 
layer or something. The keyboard has 7-8 non-functional keys and I have 
a suspicion it's sending the wrong characters, because I can no longer 
log in - it complains about the password, even though all those keys 
appear to work.

Anyway, it's back in bits in the airing cupboard now. I think it'll take 
some time to be sure of long-term damage...
