Can I use Indian electronic appliance in US

I plan to take my desktop with me to America. I have read around the web that following power specification is necessary for appliances to operate in US Voltage: 110V & Frequency: 60Hz.

My monitor's specification says 100-240V, 50-60Hz, so that should be working fine. But my Cabinet's PSU (Cooler master Thunder 450) says only 230Vac (47-63Hz). Will that work fine in US, or should I get a new PSU?

Best Answer

I'm not really sure what this has got to do with travel... You will need a new PSU unless your PSU also operates at 110V. Your alternative would be to use it with a high power transformer. I would not recommend it.
