New update my Brother Chris's computer still works. He actually said that he smelt smoke and turned it off but never saw smoke. So it may have been that some of my computer's smoke went into his comp and when he turned it on the fans must of blew it out. But it still works. Now if only my comp still worked :(. I was busy all weekend and will take some pics tomorrow.

I know for a fact I had the firewire cable plugged in the place that says 1394a and that it is keyed only one way so that is not the problem. Where it got burned was underneath the mobo right beside the ram and 24 pin power.

Only if it actually performs anywhere near what they advertise. Somehow I highly doubt it.
Also, it looks like it still provides shit for power to devices.

Well I finally got around to it but only used my phone's camera so it isn't that good of quality.

ImageShack® - Gallery

As you can see on the fourth pic where the firewire port is there is no damage(the gray one)

All the damage is by the 24 pin. Maybe there was a short I don't know.
