hmmm...I open the casing but didn't smell anything or see any lose wiring. though I do notice it was a bit dusty. maybe it need some cleaning.
Name everything you have in the PC. Sounds like something isn't grounded. (The montherboard maybe? See if you have plastic nibs or metal keeping the MB connected to the case.

Other than that, a wire may be exposed, and touching the case. If I were you, SHUT DOWN NOW and get this figure out, or it'll for SURE turn into a major problem and could fry your entire PC!

PS: Or as Andrewas said, the Power Supply could be screwed, and not regulating the voltage.
