MSI Micro-ATX Oozing from the top!

[Blaine]

About a 6 months ago I got a new motherboard because my old one was just fried and I they gave me a MSI Micro-ATX and I was moving my monitor and it shut off, so I tried to turn it back in and it said no signal. The computer was turning on so I hooked it up with my other computer and it worked, so I figured it must be my computer then. When I opened it up I found this



is this bad?
