What will happen when you use a straight through cable to connect your computer to the fast ethernet interface of a router?

that depends.
A router network interface is the same as a computer interface, so without a cross-over cable, your computer and router will both try to send data on the same pair of wires which doesn't work.
But, some routers are smart enough to sense that data is arriving on the wrong pair of wires and it will automatically swap its transmit and receive paths to make it work.
