Ouch but glad they took care of it.  I had a PSU go out recently, but it 
was designed to "fail safe" and that it did.  Didn't fry a thing anywhere 
except in the PSU itself, but there, in addition to blowing the fuse, it 
blew the fronts clean-off a couple switching power transisters.  The PSU 
was a Vantec, BTW.  I seriously respect it for not killing anything but 
itself, when it failed that catastrophically inside.

As you no doubt noted, mine board is an s2885 too, so now I know someone 
else with one. =8^)
