I am trying to fix a friends computer. He said there was an issue with this powersupply:

I bought a replacement from newegg (Same exact powersupply). After installing it and plugging it in I fired up the machine. As soon as it turned on the HDD smoked a bit. I assume its fried and im out a hard drive. I went over to eggxpert.com (a newegg user help community) and asked what could be the issue and they said the new powersupply is just a piece of crap. Is this the only conclusion that can be made? Could the powersupply just be that awful that it breaks computer components on arrival or could it be some error of mine with plugging things. This is my first try at diying a computer repair. thanks
