Overcooked Audigy?

Here's a couple of pictures borrowed from a danish discussion board.

The fire seems to have started in or around the soundcard.
I suspect a bad connection in the pci slot, maybe a short.

Specs:
Asus P4C800-E Deluxe
Intel P4 2,8@3,6 C H2o
Gainward CoolFX 5900Ultra
2x256 GeIL PC4000 Platinum
Hitachi 7K250 80GB Raid
LiteOn x32x12x40
Audigy 2
Samsung 957DF
Antec PlusView 1000AMG

BTW: Fear not, my machine is okay. :doh:

    Just another example of a shoddy product by a company that doesn't care. Don't buy soundblasters EVER!!

    According to himself his water cooling is 100% tight even after the fire.
    No water was missing in his reservoir either.
