RTFM Error

Got out stuff from the UK today, including our main PC and also our Media Centre.  Plugged them in, turned them on...

The main PC powered the fans but not the HDDs and the Media Centre did bug all.  Much scratching of head ensued until I opened the damn boxes and looked at the PSUs.

220-240V rated.  FFS, I had erroneously assumed that all modern kit had dual 110/240V rating, after all they handle 50 or 60Hz.  So, 2 voltage converters have been ordered, rated for 300W (same as the PC PSUs) and fingers crossed that will crack it.

Really annoying though.

At least the USB print server works a treat as does the Belkin KVM adaptor I got.
