  |   Fascinating!  I've never seen a power supply that didn't have a
  |   110v/220v switch on the back.  but then again, I live in the US.
  |
  |   And I would love to know why you rewired the whole house for
  |   220v, unless you live in an area that uses 220v as the default
  |   voltage. (And then why wasn't the house wired that way to begin
  |   with?)
  |
  |   Just curious.

  |    |   Hi everyone,
  |    |
  |    |   I am back online after nearly 4 weeks without a computer...
  |    |   We had a very bad thunder storm which fried my power
  |    |   supply, modem and network card.  As my computer is 220v and
  |    |   here everything is 110v it took me a while to find
  |    |
  |   a
  |    |   dual voltage power supply (we rewired the whole house for
  |    |   220).  I feel
  |    |
  |   very
  |    |   proud  because I was able to do all the hardware by myself
  |    |   and get everything working also :o))  All I needed was to
  |    |   have the broadband tech come reconfigure the network card
  |    |   coz I had no clue how to go about it!
  |    |
  |    |   Sorry if I didn't reply to messages, including one from
  |    |   Chris regarding
  |    |
  |   the
  |    |   downloading in Windows.  Just wanted to say that your tip
  |    |   worked, Chris, thanks a million :o))
  |    |
