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.
