The plug that you use to plug in your computer will have a fuse in. If I'm not mistaken the power supply in your pc should be fused as well.

Yeah, I meant the fuse in the plug. It's unlikely to be the one inside the PSU. I thought it might be that on mine and received to very nasty shocks after knocking myself into the earth wire inside (Aren't I lucky around a bunch of 415v circuits at work :s). Any warranty you may have for the PSU will be void though if you open it up (Which I wouldn't want you to do anyway for the reasons I just said) ^o)

Try a different power cable, PSU, fuses etc before even considering a new PSU. It could be one of a whole bunch of things

EDIT: In fact, just try (with the PC off) flipping the switch at the back to off, press the power button on the front (the fan should spin shortly), flip the switch back and try turning the PC on... I seem to remember that working once.
