No worries with the PS, at least as far as the 4 pin connector goes. Unused connectors are OK.

Post your specs so we can help.

I'm placing my bets on: You mounted the board directly to the baseplate, w/o standoffs. Or you put standoffs in places where your board doesn't have mounting holes.

Either way, you shorted something against the metal frame.

you hit nail on head..

mobo shot?

One time when changing out a mobo I forgot to remove an extra standoff where there was no hole on the new mobo. LEDs would come on but system wouldn't boot. It was a bitch to troubleshoot but once I finally figured it out and removed the offending standoff, problem was solved with no permanent damage. So your mobo may be fine. On the other hand, my PSU didn't "pop" like yours did so maybe something more extreme happened in your case ... hard to say.

I just picked up another psu so I am reinstalling everything now.

I cant belive I did that, well, I guess I can since I tried working on a pc after 13 hour shift and I was dead tired... thats what I get I guess..
