Can anyone tell me if I bring over my personal computer whether this will work, or should I buy a new one out there?

Bring everything you can with you....some things can be a lot more expensive than what you would pay in the UK for same item.

We assumed they would be cheap and readily available in NZ - cheapest we have found is $15 a shot from Dick Smiths.... thats a lot of cash if you need 10 of them to get your pc/network up and running...
They are like gold dust in our house - my wife and I fight over them!

I'd back up what the other person says, bring as much stuff as possible, some stuff isnt that cheap here especially with the sterling to NZ exchange rate being so poor at the moment.
