Bringing my PC from the USA

Does anyone know if there is a switch on a PC that can change it from 110 volt to 240 volt?

If not would I have to buy a new power supply for my computer or can I buy some kind of adapter?

Cheers

I've just had a look at a spare Power Supply that I have... there is no 110/240 switch on it.

Replacement power supplies are cheap enough and pretty easy to change.

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k.  “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi.  Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

Thanks guys

I think i will go with the 750 watts converter. I will plug everything into my USA surge protector then plug the surge protector into the adapter...does that sound right?

What PC do you have?

There is normally a switch located on the PSU (Power Supply Unit) to change between 110 and 240v - all you'll need then is a new lead which is cheap as chips.

The PSU is where the plug goes into the PC so is easy to find.

If there is not a switch your PSU may be autosensing, or if not you can replace one very cheaply. (Please don't plug it in to find out if it's autosesning!!)
