Shocked By Lightning Case

So a buddy of mine has this case that was recently hit by Lightning. The PSU fried of crouse, so he went out and bought a new one. Well he pluged everthing in, and for about a day the entire thing ran again. But sadly the thing ate another PSU. I'm figuring its the MOBO, but could this be the case? He's willing to give me the case for free, and it's a-lot better than mine. Would it be safe if I moved all my componets into the case that got hit by Lightning

How did it get hit by lightning in the first case?

Basic guide to CPU's!

If I said I were 14, you would call me a kid. If I say 70, you’ll entitle me too old. If I say 20 you say I’m inexperienced and if I say 40 than I'm too boring.

I would say it's okay as long it discharged.

It's obvious you get a kite on a rainy day and connect it to your PC case.

The computer got shocked by Lightning through the electrical outlet.

 

It's not a problem moving the stuff into the case, btw did your friend have a surge protector where he plugged in his system that would be a good investment, it will save the PC the majority of the time.
