Antec Sonata case, power problems

Right I am currently putting my new system together, got all the vital parts today. The case for this system is an Antec Sonata with supplied 380w psu. Everything seemed fine, until I opened the case up and noticed it was supplied with a US 125v power cable :mad:

Upon reading the manual it says the red supply voltage switch should be either set to 115v for US, or 230v for Europe. It is currently set at 115v.

What I want to know is, if I use a standard UK power cable, and set the psu voltage switch to 230v will I be alright? I don't want to go through the hassle of returning the case purely to get the correct power cable when I have loads around. At the same time, I don't want to risk frying any of my new kit.

You will know doubt be hearing from me again soon, this is my first system build from scratch and I will no doubt have issues :)

Cheers everyone, help very much appreciated :d

Yea just switch it over to 230v,if you keep it at 115v there will be a rather large bang.

ok ta :)

Done that on my first PC when I was 15.... Wondered what the little slidy thing was on the back and pushed it whilst it was switched on :o

Lovely puff of smoke :(


Kimo - it wont have been supplied with the 125v PSU, its probably just been pushed over during packing.

Yea been there myself,that's how i know,lol.My youngest switched it over when i putting together a rig and left the case on the floor,but i was lucky it only nuked the power supply with a bit a bang.
