If you take out everything and on outside, if it shorts means the board got issues. When shorted it means that the psu will turn on and a relay sound will kick in to turn off everything in 1 sec.

If you take out and everything is fine, could be never install the standoffs properly on the chassis.

1) How did you eventually get the cheaper price if they are pulling this kind of stunt?

2) Why did you go for a Aerocool PSU? Aerocool's PSUs are not that good, you know.

U r the one who went to France to study, right?

Aerocool isnt that good imo. There are other brands/models that have better reliability yet at similar price.

But if ur fren wun be stressing it, then it shouldnt be a problem.
