Hi Lisadd
Power (or hydro as they call it here) is supplied at 110 volts. Your kit (unless its dual voltage-unlikely) will not work here. Some people have messed around with voltage converters but I believe the general concensus is that its not worth the bother. I'd sell it and buy new here......:blink:

Have a read of the Wiki on the compatibility of goods regarding electrical items. ;)

Most computers are dual voltage so will probably be OK. Simplest way is to have a look on the back (or the power supply if it's a laptop). If it says 100-240v 50/60HZ then you're in luck :)
