90% certain that your Mobo is fried - that looks like a really old, or dodgy PSU, as all the good ones for the last few years have been automatic dual voltage.

10% that your other components will be damaged.
Video Cards, sounds cards & add-on cards ... *shrugs* ... if it's not directly connected to the PSU, is hopefully saved by your mobo's sacrifice.
Ram similarly .. *fingers crossed*
Drives & fans seem to be hardier & take a fair bit to die.

I'd suggest you ask before you randomly switch hardware switches without knowing what they do.
