    I’ll take the computer on the right to the car wash and pressure wash it, then go find an air compressor to quickly dry it out.

    Sure it might need a new fan and perhaps hard drive and other mechanical parts, but that looks almost totally salvageable.

    Fun fact: Linux can actually run on faulty RAM, if you configure the kernel to just avoid the bad RAM regions.

      Linux doesn’t actually need any functional components to run; if you put on enough pairs of programming socks and take some psychedelics you can simply sit in front of a blank screen and hallucinate a fully functional Linux distro!
