Foreign power supplies

[bnewb1e]

Hi,

I am considering giving a Shuttle SFF as a gift, however I live in the UK and the person whom this will be given to is living in France. I'm not so worried about the power plug being different but will the difference in voltage cause problems (ie. will the PSU go pop when I plug it in and turn it on in France)?

In particular I was looking at the NForce 2 Shuttle (SN41G2V2).

Any help/advice would be much appreciated.

Ummmmm, Europe and most of Asia and the middle East has the same Voltage/Frequency!
220 @ 50 from Iceland to eastern Russia...

Only when you send something electrical to the Americas, Japan and a few other places do you have to look out.

Just flip the switch to 11x if needed, and buy the countries cable (if socket is different.)

Over here, I got my PSU @ 115 volts right now.

uhhh... UK and France have pretty much the same electrical supply - 220v/50 Hz
