    Check the PSU. If it's multi-voltage, you don't need a step down transformer (our voltage is higher than the US).

    And for Jaysus' sake don't get a cheapo Chinese voltage convertor! :eek:

    PSU will have a label on it, 110V you need to convert, 110-230v is variable and you can just use a travel adapter.

    I've yet to come across any widely available electronics that don't support 110-230v out of the box.
