Just dry it all thoroughly as everybody has said and you should be fine. Cant count the number of times I've got components wet (including the PSU) due to watercooling, never had an issue so far. Touch wood, fingers crossed, don't cross a black cats path, throwing salt over shoulder etc etc.
Had the mobo and GPU in front of a heater for a few hours, bought a new PSU, all back up and running... for the moment!
Gonna keep the PSU in an airing cupboard for a while and then see how it is, might test it on an old PC, keep it as a spare.
Now all I need is internet in my new flat and I am all good!
Glad everything is working! Gives me a bit of peace of mind if my water cooling loop starts leaking when i set it up for the first time.
Yeah, I wasn't that hopeful, but putting everything straight in to an airing cupboard for a few days definitely saved me a few bob! I probably would have tried the PSU if I wasn't so scared of killing everything else if it blew!
And on a side note, I has interwebs!
I think you can get PSU testers for a few quid on ebay/amazon.
Here is one, ships all the way from Hong Kong for 3 quid. How do they do that, would cost me that much to send an empty jiffy bag down to the other end of the street.

Edit to add: I would probably fire it up wearing safety glasses too, outside on the driveway. If you did it on November the 5th and it all goes wrong, no-one will notice an extra bang and it is probably cheaper than a box of fireworks
That will tell you the voltage is ok, unfortunately it doesn't tell you if the power supply will still deliver suitable voltages when any significant load is placed on it.
This kind of voltage testing could plausibly be done with a multi-meter if you have one kicking about?
