If nothing touched the motherboard, there is no reason it would be damaged.

Someone with more knowledge might be able to tell you which chip is most likely to burn out in the power supply. Probably a voltage regulator, but just guessing.

Anything that has power running through it including the parallel port is what you have to be careful of.
Is it possible you could get an electrical build up because something has a poor connection to the chassis (which is acting as ground). Check that too.
