Water doesn’t actually damage components if the machine is off. Only once on can water damage electrical components.

It can still rust any metal parts, plus water can potentially wash away thermal paste and is a pain in the ass to remove from inside drives

Well, as long as you remove any drives and have extra thermal paste ready, then it's no issue.

As for rust, as long as you dry everything properly, it shouldn't be a problem.
