I've received 2 Avaloans with a 850w PSU inside. I can't find any power cords that plugs into this avalon. I'm from Australia.

Where can I get the proper power cords?

Isn't it just a standard power cable?

Correct me if wrong, but Aussies use PAL and not NTSC.  Anything to do with it? It should be a standard power cord.

Looks like this'll do the trick. Basically anything that goes into your Aussie socket to a female C13 should work fine (in case you can get it locally).

Out of curiosity... are these batch 3 (3 module) units?... or 4 module?

Legend has it you can find the leads you so desire within the heart of the mountain, where the firebreather lives. Do you dare take up this quest?

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

I'm not sure if it has to do with sockets or not. I just know that the conversion is important and didn't know if it actually had a hardware difference. Just dropping that tidbit in here in case it was related.

PAL and NTSC are TV formats ...

I think you wanted to point out the difference in frequency ... 50Hz and 60Hz ... which is also present in PAL/NTSC but still, those have nothing to do with electricity or sockets Wink

No, I'm talking about electricity, but yes, I did reference TV formats on accident. But what I meant was Euros use 220v and in the States it's 110v standard and often converters can be necessary depending on the device.

I'm not aware of any ATX computer power supply (what Avalons use) that do not work on either voltage. Most now work on anywhere from ~90V-260V, at either 50 or 60 Hz. At the worst case you'll have to use a switch on the back to select which (doubt if any Avalon's shipped without active PFC PSUs - I haven't seen one in years). Thus all that's needed is a male-ended Aussie plug to C13.

It's an IEC C13/C14 connector.

Is Australia in Europe?

I believe you meant to say that "foreign countries" tend to use 220v.

You meant to say "anyone with a clue" tend to use 220V.  Tongue

Besides, Australia may as well be in Europe, it's just a sunnier Ireland (they get drunk constantly, drive on the correct side of the road, and BBQ in December).
