If the guy had a gaming rig I can only imagine how much power he had running through that machine. No wonder it fried him.

Damn, unlucky guy.
I once got zapped trying to wire up the front case (power sw, reset sw, lights, etc) while the pc was on  Good thing those parts dont require much power, could have been worse.
