If it blew the PSU, I would bet it blew out other components. You could try to borrow one, from someone who has a spare, just to see if the computer boots up.

That's not always the case. Granted it can happen, but you might be alright.

usually it just burns the power supply however i have seen cases where it burned the mobo and in very rare cases the mobo ram and cpu and all the devices in the pci bus
i really think it depends on how your power supply and motherboard are designed
power supplys are cheap, and if you have another computer in the house of simmelar specs you can pull it out to test it before you buy a replacment

be careful with what you're saying there. Cheap power supplies can cause far bigger problems than the ones they solve. I know someone who had a cheap power supply that set fire to their curtains. It carried on working as if nothing had happened. With no overheat, short circuit or overload protection, they can be pretty lethal. Fortunately he was in the house to shut the PC off and put out the fire. What if he hadn't been?

I was down in the Mekong Delta - Bin Thuey/Cantho. I am glad that you made it home, too.

What did they mean "same"? Like same as in compatibility then they are right, it's one standard, ATX. If they meant quality however then it is a different story. A 300W PSU with a lower efficiency and worse build quality is MUCH worse than a 300W PSU with a high efficiency and good quality.

Indeed, and they're not all the same size. CompUSA obviously know nothing, based on that advice.

To put it simply, if it's as least as many watts, and the screws are in the same place, it'll fit.
HOWEVER, cheap power supplies go bad, it's just what happens. It may be worth considering something a little more reliable like a Thermaltake 430W unit in stead to avoid future problems and potential damage. We're not talking lost memory here, serious damage, data loss and often fire.
Cheap-ass power supplies MUST be avoided at all costs.

Yes usable, but when a cheap power supply blows and takes the rest of your PC with it(and maybe other things if it light on fire) then you might look back and regret not using a quality power supply.

Take someone I know on these forums, a cheap power supply caught fire and set fire to his house, had he not been there, his house may have burnt down.
Think about that!
