That could also just mean there is no power from the power supply. Nothing will boot without the power supply working.

No, because without the power switch button connected it cannot boot.You may see an indicator light on the motherboard if it has one built in (alot of new ones ship with LED's to show you if the motherboard is receiving power or not).
If you saw sparks around the PSU (and only the PSU) then it is fairly safe to assume the PSU is the only part affected - however you won't know until you can try another one. If there was sparking around near the motherboard, then it's time to look it up.
Oh, also, about them not offering anything under the warranty. All parts you purchased would have come with 12 months manufactuers warranty. That has nothing to do with who you bought it off, and they can't knock you back if you need something replaced - they need to organise the RMA and transfer (Return to manufactuer). The only part they have in it is they are the ones who send the broken parts off to get replacements.
Manufactuers warranty is NOT the warranty the store offers, they should, however, be able to return parts that are faulty or not working.
