PSU or mobo was fried in the event. If you have another power supply test that to see if it's the mobo or PSU that died. If not, you can connect just the fans to PSU and short the power on pin (in the 24pin, be VERY careful when doing so and call an experienced electrician if you don't understand high power electronics).

While you are at it, make sure to buy a surge protector WITH ethernet protection, or a UPS for good measure.
