[FONT=Verdana, Arial][FONT=Verdana, Arial]I plan to buy computer parts from US (Newegg&Tigerdirect), will they work in Australia?. Will the computer work if I use a power supply made in Australia?

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Yes.

You will need to check the psu cable 110va or 220va. Rest should be fine

I'm not sure what you mean. Any cable sold locally will do the trick.

Yeah he gets a bit exited... Cable unimportant. PSU must be able to run on 240V tho (which many/most are)

Isn't active PFC, and thus universal 110-240V input, a requirement for 80+?

the former is, the latter isnt. psus are more efficient with 240v though.

So any power cable bought locally in Melbourne, California, USA will work in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia?

I would imagine that parts in Australia use the same DC voltages as the parts in the US, so as long as the power supply can accept the AC voltage all is good. Just make sure you switch it to 240.

Also the power supply needs to be installed upside down. (just kidding)

And when you short out your cpu and mobo, the build goes down the toilet counter clockwise. Just joking!

As long as you PSU works on 240V and you have the correct cable to plug into the wall or an adaptor it should work fine.

the only difference is that the PSU fan will be spinning in the counter clockwise direction in Australia
