Yes, you should count yourself lucky that he doesn't seem very intent on blaming you
If there is a car wreck and a lady is dying and the car is in flames and I pull her out and her arm comes off because I am not a doctor, I have no liability i am just a bystander trying to save the lady. I don't even need her permission to be guilt free.
First off this sounds more urban myth than reality.
Thanks to the guy that posted advice about building a system for practice... is there any cheap motherboard/system that could someone recommend for self-study?

Not sure where you got that story on California but that's incorrect. California has whats considered the hardest Bar exam in the US and there is a law school requirement.
Don't try to put something together.
I hope this doesn't sound too harsh, but this is a rather absurd analogy to the OPs situation.
A great deal of latitude is given to people who cause damage while attempting to save a life. They are not (and should not be) given the same degree of latitude when they cause damage when they are just trying to do something nice.
In this case I don't believe the OP would be in trouble it the client chose to take legal action; not because there was no negligence, nor because his intention to do something nice gives him any sort of legal defense, but because if investigated it would almost certainly turn out that he didn't actually do any damage.
Tony you posted that in California you don't have to have any Law schooling and that is incorrect. If you don't have a law degree then you still have to meet the Pre-law requirements which is two years of Pre-law and then you have to work under a judge or attorney in their study program for 4 more years. Did you read my post or your own post?
As far as building a server, the poster asked for a cheap motherboard recommendation. Instead of trying to piece together some hodge podge server he can buy a complete server on Ebay which will give him a lot more value and some hands on with real server equipment. You can buy them all day long for under a hundred bucks and not only learn about RAID and SCSI but at the same time learn about Registered Ram, hot swap server components, multiple power supplies, server management tools, and whatever else may pop up.
LEGAL EDUCATION
* J. D. degree from a law school accredited by the State Bar of California or approved by the ABA;
* Four years of study at a fixed-facility law school registered with the Committee;
* Four years of study, with a minimum of 864 hours of preparation and study per year, at an unaccredited distance-learning or correspondence law school registered with the Committee;
* Four years of study in the law office/judge’s chambers study program; or
* A combination of these methods.
Often when trying to make a point an extreme example may be used to help hi light the points.
Even if there had been both negligence (which I don't think there is as he was "ASKED" to look at it after "NOTIFYING" the client of his unfamiliarity with Servers/Raids) and damage, I don't think the client has much of a case.
I see what is happening.
Some server/raid/network guys are getting pretty Territorial about servers and raids. This newbie tech guy went out and touched someones server. He has come to us for help and our opinions and now its a good chance for you to thrash and trash him as well as fight to the bitter end and discredit any thing and anyone who has an opposing voice.
I think much of this is just petty. If the op wishes to PM me I am glad to respond without the side show created by these few petty members.
