    Ok, I really need help. When I bought my desktop in germany I was sure that it was dual voltage as all new computers are these days. Well I just unpacked it after moving back to the states and what can I say, it's not dual voltage. It says 200-240 in the back, not the usual 100-240 when it is a dual voltage pc. However I put an adapter plug on the power cord, plugged it in, started it and it wouldn't boot. Now my question, would it work if I went and bought a 110V power supply for that computer? And if so, what kind would I need and why are there so many different ones with different watts? LOL I'm confused....TIA!!
