Hi Nocloning,

In my opinion the cpu and ram are probably still good the rest of the system including the drives are probably shot. The reason why I say this is because I tore down a system that was fried by a spike and then tested each part. the power supply and the drives along with the motherboard were blown out but the cpu and ram were still good. This is most likely due to the fact that the motherboard circuitry blew before reaching the cpu and ram circuits.
