Crash and Burn!

For some time now under my kitchen sink there's been a little leak nothing big, but the pipes were rusted kinda bad and I thought they could be come a real problem in the future. So we had the pipes replaced, only the repair man on accident knocked loose a water line and didn't know. When we came home I had water dripping all over my computer desk which is in the basemen directly below the kitchen. Now at the time my wife just put some towels down and shut off all the electronics till i got home to asses the situation. Well its been a long week and good but even longer weekend, so by the time I got around to using my computer I discovered that although the computer and most other things were fine, my 1TB "My Book" external drive was fried :(. Mistakes happen so no hard feeling's to the repair man but ouch...I lost a lot of client data, website info, and general media storage (movies, TV, etc), so wish me luck as i have to start all over.
