Actually, he might have had the same problems I have had (I have had 
capacitors blown on two motherboards).  The first time, I forgot to 
read the documentation and inserted a processor into a motherboard it 
wasn't approved for (if you care, I inserted a Athlon XP processor into 
an Athlon motherboard).  The second time this happened, my best guess 
was that a short occurred because of the massive amounts of dust that 
collected inside the case.  In both cases, the only damage done was to 
my pride, pocketbook, and motherboard.
