re: So my PC tripped the breaker

Update. Its not the board or PS because I just put a brand new Z97 asus motherboard and EVGA 1000 PS in and same problem. Only now after I tried to turn on the power switch on PC 3 or so times, it actually kicked on power to the PS and board, smoking my water cooler and mabye HDD. Sparks and smoke everywhere. This just became a very expensive problem.
I think it may be the fan controller because with power to the board and PS, no fans come on in my case. Or maybe its the front conteol panel on the case causing a short? Im stumped. And broke. Lol

Holy hell. Something shorted... Wish I could physically examine the motherboard in the case. I don't even know where to begin with that unless I can look at it...
When you ever get around to it, you need to take the case out of the equation completely and just run it all outside the case, with the motherboard resting on top of the box it came in.
Fan controller would only destroy the components connected to it (i.e. fans, water pump), so if it killed your HDD something else is the culprit. Take inventory of all the burnt/dead parts... What brand/model fan controller is it? One that came with the case, or aftermarket? etc
