One other thing - operating at half voltage generally doesn't kill electronics. It depends on what the power supply let get pass it's fuses, and if anything went through the ground side, which is only fused in good power supplies.
Skanky nicely explained why it fried. The problem would be that, since it was expecting 1/2 voltage, when you passed it double that, something got through to your components. Get a CHEAP power supply and starting testing components one by one, starting with the MB, video card, and memory. I once had a network of three machines all fry within one week - same cheap sh*t bunch of capacitors in the PS, and all had been assembled from the same lots of cases, MB, and processors.
One of the PS had some capacitors actually explode. I only managed to salvage the memory. The others only had the MB blow, and everything else was fine - those capacitors only had swollen ends. Try the returns like the other posters recommended. Hope it works out.
