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

I don't build as many as I used to, or the diagnostics, but I'm intrigued by the whole open "bench style" chassis for building, testing or evaluation.
Might be an excuse to buy one for this situation.
Like the DIYPC Alpha DB6 for example:

It's $40 for an ATX acrylic shelf with legs, but I can see getting a lot of use out of it for a frequent builder/troubleshooter.

The case is a fractal designs arc midi. Fan controller is fractal design as well. Not really sure what the frick is going on, but Im about to do a total tear down. I dropped 300 on that Z97 and EVGA 1000. Just ordered a Corsair H110i GT cooler and a 1st PC Corp 6 fan digital controller for another cool 220 more dollars. Im tapped out.
Scared shitless to hook all that shite up and hit power.
Funny thing is the damn thing was running fine in there for a year. Dont know what happened.
