water you can be lucky, it dries and often is fine, unless it gets under the membrane, regular keyboards are usually fine with water when it dries, coffee (especially if it has sugar in it), squash, coke etc you're usually not so lucky.
it's often worth a try, you have nothing to lose, i'd certainly take the hard drive out and see if in a caddy it can be read.
A few years back I spilt half a glass of milk over an old laptop. Several keys stopped working immediately, a few more over the next hour or so - I was able to boot into Windows to disable all the password prompts and copy all necessary files off. A couple of hours later I was counting which keys worked rather than those that didn't.
