I salvaged a coputer from the trash today as a way to teach my self some soldering techniques when I noticed the fan inside. The fan is ideal for implementing into my telescope but when I dissambled the power supply and extracted the fan it didn't seem to work even after hooking it up to a 9v battery. Also the small pieces of the computer on the motherboard, can they be used even if they may have gotten wet? This would save me some cash if i could just desolder them and use them for later projects. I don't know the names of these but they are the cylinder, and the flat circular parts that solder into the board.
