Get a new power supply. It might be possible to repair the old one, but I don't recommend you try. It's probably a fairly standard LED power supply, in which case you should be able to pick up a replacement on eBay for about 25 Euros.

Just the power supply.

It's unlikely that the PSU will have delivered significantly more than 12V to the other components. If by "the fuse" you mean the one in the PSU, then I guess some other part must have fused first.
