You were lucky the PSU didn't blow, they do that for no reason so doubling the voltage should have fried teh whole PC

Well, it did blow both the PSU's internal fuse and the one in the lead. I was in work at the time. I am lucky it didn't trip the RCD protecting the mains sockets. I would have lost a lot of work that I hadn't got around to saving on my own PC.
