Computer Power Supplies for Europe (220V) ?

[Captain Insano]

I am getting a lot of overseas interest in my computer systems and I want to offer a solution for my potential European clientele...


Does anyone know if there are computer power supplies that will switch between 110 and 220V automatically?

What about converters are they viable?


What would be the best way to do this?


I don't know squat about power in other countries so the more info you can provide the better.

Most powersupplies have a switch that flips between 110 & 220. From there you would just need to make sure you ship the right cord for the right country. The supply itself shouldnt be the issue, just what plug the cord has. Would need to find a supplier for each different type of cord, or buy plug converters.

Hmmm most of the high end power supplies I am using don't.

Can you link a picture for a plug converter? I can't recall what one looks like.

Thx.

I'm sure you can find a cheaper solution, and most likely can just find a company that makes black power cord you plug into the supply with different male ends.

*edit*

found one company:

Thanks... hmm i'm still not seeing any decent power supplies that switch. I know they used to do that commonly but can you actually find some examples?

I appreciate it.

Here are 3 examples of higher powered models that switch.
