My 1st computer I built 1 week ago is dead after a storm with a lighting strike to house.

amd 64 3200
1 gig 400 ram muskin
antec 350 power supply and case
MSI mobo ( i forget model k8 neo something)
maxtor 80 sata drive
ati ratheon 9800 pro
dvd burner

When I power up, the power llight on the front of the computer comes on , but no fan or hard drive or any sign of boot up. The system was protected by a new surge protector (belkin surgmaster). It also was a DSL without a protector and the strike may have come in backward via dsl modem-router-computer. The modem lights up but does not show a DSL signal, the router is wireless and not broadcasting to a laptop I have. The router lighs are on.

Some body walk me thru the diagnotics . I think replace power supply , then MOBO, etc. I was hoping there is a reset or fuse on the power supply or mobo , but I havent found one. Is there such a thing as a dsl surge protector?


Thanks in advance

This might be a hot deal in the sense that getting hit by lightning prob resulted in his pc being pretty hot :)
