I posted a few days ago here about PSU explosion but now im not so sure if the PSU is responsible... cause i changed it with other one and same thing .. but THE POWER SWITCH WAS OFF... just when i pluged the power cable into the electricity .. BAM.... something exploded.. no demage should be done to the PC when its not on right ?

Probably no damage, but it sounds like you've learned why you don't cheap out on a PSU.
Also, which power switch? The one on the back of the PSU, the one on the front of your case, or the one where you plug the cable into the wall (not all countries have these)?

When I Plugged it into the wall it exploded... the PSU wasnt cheap... its really old but it was top computer back in the days.. i mean.. 2 PSU did this.. is it possible that the wall electicity source is the problem ? .. cause I cant see why the PSU with have something to do with it when its not even turned on (the switch on the back)

Possible, but unlikely. Most likely one of the caps blew. They can sometimes decay after years of no power, and then go bang if re-powered too suddenly.
This one is Rexpower.. las one was crappy one.. cant even say what model is.. bit it was like the electricution was not located on the PSUs but on the electricity sourse...
I suppose the power cord may have something to do with it.. now I'll try with another cord and another electricity source.
One other thing is that.. im using this ... how do I say.. you plug it in a electricity source and it gives you multiple sources .. you now the thing... maybe this is the problem...

Multibox? One of these (but in whatever your local plug is):

That shouldn't have an effect. You might have a noisy line in general, but I doubt it.
How long since they were last plugged in? I'd guess that the caps failed due to lack of use.
Well.. i dont know if your talking about the PSUs but havent been use it a while.. Rexpower for about 3-4 months or more but the other was used recently.

Something's gone bang, all right. There's been a lot of current dumped into that earth pin.
Multibox should be fine. I'd give it a clean (after unplugging it), but I doubt it's the box. There isn't much you can do to break them.
Something in the PSU shorted out. Is the casing bent at all?

There was no reply from the case at all this time.. first time case had a small hole.. on the top.. this time i didnt notice anything from the PSU.. just the connection with the multibox had sparks and stuff... i cant see what could it be.. when even the PSU wasnt on.. ?? Maybe the power cord? Or the Multibox.. how could it be a second PSU.. and the same problem?? when its not even turned on..

It could be the power cord, but I doubt it.
There's still plenty of stuff before the power switch on the PSU.
