My PC is DOOMED!!

No, this is NOT about the game, but while playing Doom III today, just as I was faced with one of those fire-ball throwing things (that bite and scratch as well!), a BIG BLUE flame suddenly came out of my pc with a massive big bang (louder than my speakers!), and the screen went black. Suddenly everything was silent.... I opened the box to find a blown up PSU... hope it didn't surge the voltage and burn the rest of the mobo/components!
Trouble is, I'm on-call tomorrow so can't fix the damn thing till Thursday. I'll keep y'all updated on how much cash I gotta part with!
Enjoy your PCs while they work, and take my advice: change your PSU to more than 350v if you're gonna play any new game
*SIGH*

Yo man
thanks for the tip, but I'll leave this PSU for my next pc upgrade (hopefully pci-x based!)
