I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

So I took the PSU apart and can't identify what was sparking. There's no dust though. Damnit. :(

Told you it wasn't cause of dust.
I've had burning dust in my case before (processor got HOT, hadn't cleaned it out in a while) and it didn't smell as bad as newby described it.

It's still quite possible that burning dust can smell bad and produce smoke.  Trust me, I've seen it.

I'm not saying it isn't possible, I'm just saying that it probably wasn't it in this situation.

Neither did I.  None of us did.  I was simply offering a possible explanation.

Uhhh, I definately wouldn't turn my computer back on with the risk of the power supply burning up and destroy your computer... I'd get a new one ASAP.
