Default Converting a European PC to American ?

Hello everyone,

I have a uniqe situation for you guys to which I need an answer in 13 hours or less lol, sry about the time constraints. Im buying a Philips Home Theater PC off of ebay.co.uk ( Actually located in London ), and I will need to convert the pc over from EU to US, what are the things I will need to change out or reformate or whatever other than the power supply ?

I am very sorry for the delay-- I just ran across this post
As far as I know... all the internal parts are the same-- it's the voltage you start with at the Power Supply Unit that is different. The Power Supply should be the only change needed.

If you want to watch dvds you might need to change the DVD drive, I think.
