Question
Hardware power supply and cable

HI. Please help.

I just got a brand new pc of higher spec and power, but there is no cable. It has a yellow sticker on the back saying " AC 230 volts" . I hae looked everywhere and can not find a 230 volt cable with a UK plug. (I think they are all US)I do have a 250 volt cable from an old moniter of the same three prong triangle style. Can I use that? If not can you give me a link to a suitable UK cable?

Thanks very much.

If the voltage is the only difference, a 250 volt cable can handle 230 volts. Any cable will will handle a lower voltage than it is rated for, you just cant go over it's rated voltage or amperage.
