cheers for that. i no i need a 110v transformer, but didnt want to change the plug end of the PC from a 110 us to a 110 uk type as chopping the end off would screw the warrenty . did find somewhere that does a cable ( like an extension ) that converts it which would save the cutting off the end but he is out of stock and has been for a while i cant find one anywhere else. hope that makes sence

that transformer wont last long as you need 750va + to run the udm

and yes the ablove link is what you need to keep warenty its what i have

i just got a normal 110v extension lean and chopped the end what conects to udm and replaced with a 240v end if that makes sense
