So, I learned a new lesson

Plugged my desktop computer in to a power strip yesterday, and was greeted to a "bang" and a large spark coming from the power supply unit.  What's interesting is that my monitor was plugged in with no problem...I think I just overloaded the power strip itself

Depends. You could always try to commandeer someone else's PSU just to test things out. I've seen PSUs fail epically with no damage to the motherboard.
