I have an ATI Radeon 9200 and dont know if it still works the only way to find out is to plug it into new computer and hope for best but am worried that if it is damaged will it damage new motherboard and processor. Same question applies to harddrive.

Chances are your mobo was fried, but because your graphic, and hd are cabled to it through the power supply, you should be okay. I have seen fried boards, and all your add-on cards just needing a new board to be installed on.

Possible for it too mess up the other computer but... you can plug it in a old computer like buy one from a recycle center or ask em for a free one..
or you can get the hard drive and buy a shock resistant case for it you can check at your local computer store they should care it but its not gonna be any use cause it can still mess up through power supply.... well you might as well just go take it to a computer place to test it for u same for your graphic card

Was it hit directly or via the telephone or DSL cable?
If it was hit directly , most probably all the capacitors on the board are now "uncle crisp". You may try and use the components that are OK, except the power supply , you must change it even if it works ok.

i would try the hard drive in an external usb case, the graphics card is probably toast, but you are right you could fry the new system i would take it to a computer store and have them test it for you
