I'm MOVING from the United States to Germany in one month, and I'll be taking my desktop PC with me. Right now it's set to 110 on the red switch on the back of my 550w power supply, and im using the standard '2 prong 1 ground' cable to connect the power to my surge protector.

In Germany, they use totally DIFFERENT plug-in prongs and wall jacks, and I'm pretty sure they use a different power output as well. My fiance' is from Germany and while here in the states she had a cellphone charger with her and the plugin was very different from what I'm used to seeing, because it was made to fit German wall jacks. She had to use an adaptor she bought to make it fit the jacks here at my house.

I have a theory I'll need to pop over my red switch from 110 to 220 and I could use an adaptor or buy a new power cable while in Germany for my 550w PSU.. but I don't know for sure.. that's why I'm here.

So in a nutshell.. does anyone know for sure what I must do to make my American-style power supply unit work with German wall jacks? I'm hoping I won;t have to buy a whole new PSU
