Plugged my computer in 220 volt and didn't turn the switch is it trash now?

I am serving with the Army in Italy right now, when I finally got my desktop computer I was to excited I guess and plugged it in without turning the switch from 115 to 220 volt. It made a loud pop and smelled burned. Did I just trash my beloved PC or did I (hopefully) just blow the Power supply unit? Please help fast. Thank you.

most likely the power supply only. there easy to change and the buring tire smell is a positive sign. you can download the user manual from the manufacturer website and get a bead on how to replace it. good luck.
