Have you tried pressing the CUDA switch? Maybe you don't need a whole new Power Supply, just tell what happened and there's a chance it can be fixed easily if we know. If you're sure the power supply blew, take it to a technician and have him solder and whack it into shape. It's lots cheaper than a new PS, and does the trick.

take your harddrive out, insert it into another mac or on a linux system.
(windows wont be able to read the file system)
back up the whole thing :)
