P PC&C Turbo Cool 510 Shorted out

PC P&C Turbo Cool 510 Shorted out, oh noes

So I install my new Audigy 2 frontpanel, and when I go to power up my APC UPS sounds a wiring fault...

I go to reset and I see a spark fly out of my PSU...

So, question, is this a case of crossed wiring causing the PSU to short out, and if so I hope none of my components fried... Took off the top cover of the PSU and it looks like one of the transistors got fried, but the cause I know not.

Thoughts?

What could possible cause a PC&C to fry...

I think you void the warranty when you take it apart.

Warranty is fine, that's not what I'm worried about(and besides the point). I'm trying to find out what caused the fault so it doesn't happen again.

hmm... a fan mod?
if i remember correctly, i've seen some threads where PC&C don't reccomend changing the fan.

My 510 has a fan mod and it works fine *knocks on wood*. Besides he said he warranty was fine...If he did a fan mod it would be voided from that alone.

I don't believe that opening up a PC P&C unit voids the warranty.
