This is my case : http://

So Im wearing jeans, socks, a hoodie, and its dry out.

I pass my hand over the USB ports where the fan speed and power button are and get a quite large electric shock when it contacted the metal of the port.

I touched it a few more times to see if it was just discharged ESD thats gone. And I kept getting a shock. Each time my logitech speakers made a noise like they were being effected by it.

This PC was $2200 I really hope its not damaged.


What could be wrong with the USB ports?

And is my hardware fucked?

From the description you give you have a serious problem either with your computer or your household wiring. You should get it checked by a professional electrician.
