Hey everyone!

I am going to get my new PC in about 2 weeks.
One little problem I have though is that I have no grounded 110v outlets in my room.
I do have grounded 220v though (Don't ask why, I don't know either xD)

Now I want to plug my PC into a grounded outlet.
Since my PC is from USA it will come with a 110v grounded cable, which I don't have the right outlet for.




What would be the solution to still have my PC plugged in a grounded outlet?
Either get a grounded plug adapter for a 110v outlet or get an adapter which makes my grounded 110v fit into a grounded 220v outlet? (which I have not found yet.)

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Stereohead

Please identify the PSU model number.

Here you go

Sorry for not including this right away, pretty stupid of me.

Watt country will you use the PC in?

Country called Curacao. It is an island in the carribean.
Most of the outlets are 110V but since the dutch influence is quite high, there are also quite a bit of 220V outlets.

Determine plug type. Locate appropriate cord. No adapter required. Probable source of supply: local PC shop in target country.

Thanks for the help but I do not quite understand you.

So the 2 types of electrical outlets I have in my room are

1: 110V non grounded (2 blades)
2: 220V grounded (2 pins and ground on the side of the plug)

The cable i will be getting with my power supply is a 110V Grounded (2 blades, 1 pin)
This won't fit in any of my electrical outlets. So an adapter is needed.
My question is,
Will a grounded outlet adapter for 110V do the job?

You are asking the wrong question. You do not need an adapter. You do not need the cord that comes with the PSU.

You need the cord I linked you to. Ask Thermaltake to send you one, or buy one.

Oh excuse me!,

Didn't see your second post there!.
That cable will do!

Thanks for the help and please ignore my previous message.

PC03 6 ft. International PC Power Cord, IEC-60320-C13 to European Schuko Plug (H05VV-F Cable, 250V/16A)


Description
Most modern desktop personal computers are equipped with detachable power cords and switching power supplies. A switching power supply is compatible with both 110-120 volt North American electricity and 220-240 volt electricity used in most of the rest of the world.
Most of the time, there will be a small switch (usually red or orange) on the back of the PC, near the cooling fan, and it's usually labelled "115V" in one position and "230V" in the other position.
In other cases, the power supply might even auto-detect the incoming voltage and switch itself automatically. That's usually harder to determine though, it usually involves taking the outer chassis off of the PC and examining the label on the power supply itself. Look for something to the effect of "Input: 100-240V" on the power supply's label.
In either case, if you plan to take the PC abroad, and it's equipped with a switching power supply, you might just need to replace the cord. Simply make sure that the physical switch is set to the proper voltage setting (if applicable) and attach the an international PC power cord with a plug that matches the type of outlet used in the destination country.
This specific cord is equipped with a CEE 7/7 Schuko plug, which is used just about everywhere in Continental Europe.

I hope you get a sunburn.
