If you mean the wind is blowing spray toward & into your house, more fans alone won't help; you should add filtering if possible.  Since most computer fans exhaust, and the intakes are all over the case, maybe it would be easier to put the computer in a small room with a recirculating air purifier (fan & HEPA filter).  This would help preserve the peripherals too.

put all the parts in a trash bag and fill a shipping box in strofoam packing peanuts put the computer in the box surrounded by peanuts and it should make it there safely or if you are really concerned double box it with 1 inch styrofoam to protect the inner box. the stuff they sell at a home improvment store that comes in 4 X 8 sheets

In any liquid spill situation, you must remove the battery immediately, this will prevent or limit short circuiting the motherboard and its non-serviceable parts. Between two evils, its better to loose data than an expensive laptop. keep the console open and let it rest on its side with the power plug port positioned up towards the ceiling, or lean it safely out of the way against a wall, or set it vertically with the monitor being above the console. Give it two weeks to completely dry, more time, if unsure. Please do not open the console casing to use a hair dryer, this could worsen the situation if it is still under warranty.  No guarantee if it already suffered any form of damages.\n~meow

Unless you have a surge protector and a backup system, it isn't recommended to leave your computer on. If lightning strikes, it can fry out the electronics in your computer.

Unless they're rechargable batteries no.  If they are take into account if and what water they were exposed to.  Salt water corrodes things so if it came into contact with it just dispose of the batteries.  Battery acid is no fun and ruins clothes and burns like hell.  If it's fresh you have less chance of corrosion.

Salt water is more corrosive, if that's what you're looking for.

Here are some ideas to look at:\n\nSoft cloth, anti-static cloth, water, specialized screen cleaner, microfiber cleaning cloths\n\nTechnique:\n\n1. Conventional wisdom is that you should only clean a screen with a damp cloth, as many screens have an anti-glare coating that you risk damaging if you use a harsh household cleaner. Even traditional window cleaners can damage some coatings and screens, especially on laptop computers. Always check your manual.\n\n2. Screen wipes are also available which are also great for the keyboard and general cleaning. Wipe your screen first, then the keyboard, mouse, and casing. Stop your computer from getting dirty in the first place by having them handy to wipe the grease off your fingers after eating junk food. \n\n3. If you are using just a damp cloth to wipe the screen, be sure to dry it off as well to prevent streaking.\n\n4. When cleaning the monitor casing use a soft cloth with your cleaning fluid. Always spray onto the cloth, not the equipment!\n\n5. Antistatic sprays and other specialty cleaning chemicals are very common, and are formulated so they will not cause damage to even the most sensitive screens. Their effectiveness is questioned by some, but others swear by them. The theory is that as the product cleans it leaves a neutral charge, whereas a positive or negative charge will attract dust. The effectiveness is likely more a result of environment, but considering the insignificant cost it is probably worth it.\n\nMy favorite is using a good microfiber cloth slightly damp on one side and polishing clean with the dry side, I really never use chemical.  The microfiber cloths are really great that way.

You can maintain your computer by doing the following simple steps. \n1. Update your computer often according to the OS manufacturer descriptions.\n2. Keep your Virus Definitions UP TO DATE. Run updates atleast once in a week. \n3. If you have Anti-spyware, Anti-adware, Anti-badware, Anti-malware softwares, then make sure you update their definitions once a week. \n4. Don't visit unwanted websites. \n5. Don't click on unwanted links.\n6. DO NOT TRUST ANYTHING THAT IS ON THE INTERNET. NOTHING IS TRUE UNTIL IT IS FROM TRUSTED SOURCES. \n7. Run virus scans, spyware scans, adware scans, badware scans, malware scans IF REQUIRED once a month. \n8. Defragment your hard-drive once a month. \n9. Index your files. \n10. DO NOT INSTALL UNWANTED SOFTWARE EVEN IF IT IS FREE OR PAID. (well, if u pay, u sure want it)\n11. DON'T BE AFRAID TO DO ANYTHING ON YOUR COMPUTER. ITS JUST A MACHINE. \n12. BACK UP:- The most important. There are 2 options here: \na) If you have Windows XP, then run the system restore wizard to create  SYSTEM RESTORE POINT atleast once in 2 days. In this case, if ur affected by a spyware, you can simply restore your PC. WARNING: YOU WILL LOSE ALL DOCUMENT FILES, SONG FILES, MOVIE FILES ETC CREATED AFTER THE RESTORE POINT WAS CREATED. \nb) If you have an older OS, then run the BACKUP wizard to back up the files and save it on to a CD. \nc) If none of that works, then simply copy the main and important files on to a cd/dvd/floppy/email/server/external hard drive/flash drive/sd card or any kind of a storage system you name.\n\nThat is all i have in my brains rite now.\nhope it helps.

see what you can do with canned air. \nIf you can't get everything off with air, rinsing with alcohol will be much better than rinsing with water as it will not cause rust and evaporate very quickly, leaving no moisture behind. Soap and water isn't good for any electronics.

You would need to refine your question with some kind of definition of 'security' (computer, physical, etc)
