It could happen with any type of power supply, but I wonder if he'll be able to get his potentially fried CPU, board, etc. replaced.
 
Just an update : Everything works great so far! I'd like to thank all of you for what proved to be an excellent advice! Tis' a shame I can't send beer overseas :lol:
