A giant insect managed to get inside my computer case. What do I do? How bad is this?

I have no idea how it got in there, but it can't get out. Problem is, I hate bugs and I would rather just wait until the fucker starves than have him fly out at me.

But om worried he might somehow damage my equipment?? Should I unplug the computer for now? Could he fry my machine? I can't really open the case until tomorrow because I need special screwdrivers I don't have on hand. Please tell me my system will be ok :/

Edit: Grew a beard and got him out, fixed some dust stuff and made sure everything was in order on the inside now that I had it open anyway. So it's all good. Just kind of freaky that it could even get in there in the first place. I may have to look into some solutions for bug-proofing my computer. Don't want some little creature crawling in there in the dead of night and mistaking my cables for delicious spaghetti while I'm sleeping and blissfully unaware :(
