So it's final! I'm moving from Canada to the Netherlands. Starting a job assignment in the land of 220 Volts, 50 Hz. Closer to the Zone!
I'm going through the details of the move. One thing is my computer. I've built a high-end PC. Is it possible to switch out a powersupply with a Euro one? Or are there going to be other issues.
I'm aware my screen won't work, of course. Too bad because it's a nice one. My other option would be to buy a laptop and use it for the 2-3 years I'll be in Nederland.

Welcome back Arie,
most computer and monitor are scpecified from 100...240V
Iǘe just checked Canon batery charger is also 100...240V
Technicaly it is done with simple switch between half and full bridge AC/DC convertor.This is one of the input stage of any switching power supply.
Actually to be more precise - equpipment works from lets say 100...120V / 200....240V. Not in between.
Saying that I know there is alwis an exceptions.
I sugest you to check power supply lables and manuls of correcponding equipment. I re,ebered that on time when I was in US I had notebook adaptor only for 115 vols but it was in 90s.
