power supply done?

I made a big mistake tonight. I was taking out some fans on my computer and aparantly i left one of the expansion cables for additional fans plugged into the computer. I turned my computer back on and was simply stuffing ther cables back in the computer and one of the two pins on the fan connecter touched the case and sparked, then the power went off. Is there any chance of it having hurt any components. Its a newer coolermaster 550 watt. Is there some kind of protection inside the ps for this?

The ps had OVP\OPP short circut protection. Would this have protected the computer?

Short circuit protection might help survive the episode.

Only acid test is to check all connectors securely in place and any exposed pins kept tucked out the way - and try it.  Thinking tho - if you had/saw sparks then not that good of a sign as the few micro seconds of that might have been damaging. 

I'll keep fingers crossed!
