[Fuzzyhippy]

So my wife got mad at me and long store short poured her smoothie into my pc. The pc was off and I havent turned it on for about 2 days could i clean it with isopropyl and then let it all dry and might work again ?

Isopropyl probably won't help as much as just a warm water bath. I don't believe the alcohol dissolves sugars very well. Warm water (distilled from the store, pretty cheap in gallon bottles) with a drop or two of hypoallergenic (odor free/dye free) dishwashing liquid. Swish it around some and a soft brush might help but avoid the CPU socket if Intel. Repeat if necessary, then rinse in a clean water bath.

Dry in an oven heated to lowest-low, 170F ( 76C) is mine, for several hours. You can also blow-dry with a hair dryer, just don't linger in an area too long. Keep it moving.

And while at the store pick up some flowers for the wife. Just do it, I learned a long time ago, it doesn't matter who's at fault. When it gets that bad you suck up the pride in favor of peace.

I'd factor in a budget for anger management classes instead of flowers.
