Using my Dimension E520 in NZ

[briandamy]

Hi, I am contemplating a move to NZ from Canada and was wondering if I would be able to use my Dell Dimension E520 computer and Dell W2306C LCD Monitor there?

Would anybody know of the compatability? Would I need to get power converters or just change the style of power cord?

Any help is appreciated.

Regards

Umm I'm not sure, the pc should be fine as PSU's are designed to run on both 230v and 120v so all you should need is the correct mains cable and set the switch to the correct setting on the back of the psu, if it's an older passive type or if it's newer active type it doesn't have a switch but does it automatically.

the monitor I'm not sure about.

Thank you, I suspected the PSU might be OK, I'll continue to research the Monitor. I appreciate your comments.

Cheers

If your monitor uses a separate power brick then worst case senario is replacing both psu and power brick.
