    Moving from Canada to Australia - power supply question

    Hi,
    Im going to be studying in Australia for just over a year and I would like to bring my Shuttle barebone system with me. I know I can just buy adapters to plug it in but Im wondering if I can buy a new power supply or just a new cord to work in Australia. Would anyone be able to give me more information on what I can do so it will be easy to bring my Shuttle.

    Thanks!

    new kettle lead and you should be golden, if it doesnt have a voltage select switch on the back then youre fine, if it does youll need to throw it, but otherwise there wont be any problems

    exactly as herulach says, and if your wondering, a kettle lead is the cable that connects your power supply to the wall socket.

    strange, was telling somone about allmost exactly the same thing on EFnet a few days ago
