PSU plug

TheZestyLemon · 2012-06-25 23:03:36

Hello, I'm about to order my new computer but my friend just told me how in Germany they have different plugs. I believe they only have a live and neutral connector. Anyway, my question is, seen as Hardwareversand is a German site, should I have to worry about the plugs of the PSUs? Thanks in advance

Nope, you can just use an irish kettle cord instead. The ones that look like this:

Most people have loads lying around the place.

I tried to count all the ones I have about 2 weeks ago. Got to 17 and lost the will to live. We haven't even had 17 kettles/computers/ other things!

Thanks a lot, but would you happen to know if the voltage that sockets in Ireland draw will be enough?

They do, and the psu converts the power going in to what it needs anyway so it will all be fine
