1 click away but need help :(

Hi, I am from the UK and was just looking on eBay.com for PC's and I noticed that US PC's are much cheaper than UK PC's , anyway I have configured a PC but its from the US and I was wondering would it work in the UK? I have a US to UK power adapter but people have mentioned to me that I would have to get a new power supply and monitor as the voltages are different and something to do with northern/southern hemisphere. Anyone else taken there PC to another country?
Thanks

P.S Sorry if it's the wrong forum but I didn't know where else to post it.

 

People have mentioned a Step Down/Up Transformer , could someone list a nice one for me? Thanks

 

Well, many power supplies are now made with no 120/240 switch these days, better than a transformer. Oh, 1pound=$1.57US and don't forget the VAT. Maybe that's why it looks cheap?

 

Since I have NO experience with this kind of transformer, I did find a few that might interest you at this link. http://www.world-import.com/3000b.htm Do a Google search on 'down\up transformers' and you may be able to find some reviews on them. Good Luck!! I am assuming that this what you were looking for?
