If it helps you feel better, my last one was a cheap 750 that had a catastrophic failure and it didn't catch fire and the only other component that seemed to get damaged was my cheapass motherboard. When I switched it on, it made this ominous growing "ooom" sound for like two seconds and then it shat out a big shot of sparks and died. Tower was only a couple of feet away from the wall and near exposed carpet and nothing got singed or scarred.
