    I need to move my PC from Germany to the US, My pc was originally australian, then I moved it to germany (buying one of those simple 5$ plug adaptors because both australia and germany have 220 voltage) and now I was wondering what I have to buy to go from 220--->110 can you also tell me where to buy these? +Are they safe? And will I need to buy a new PSU?

    Thanks

    check on back of computer psu for a slide switch that currently shows 220v. when get to us, slide that switch so reads 110v but will need new power cord for computer & monitor unless they are aleady 110v version.

    looks like new psu than & wiil support all your hardware as long as it is powerful enough. anything above 450 watt.
