Was lucky enough to get one of the last Cubes made... Has seen a lot of faithful service too...

Now, I have moved from Japan to the UK meaning that voltage has gone from 110v to 220v. Unfortunately, unlike just about every other Mac produced, the Cube does not have a switchable power supply. At least the Japanese version didn't.

I am now stuck with a Cube with no power supply. I tried to use a transformer with it but I think it may have fried the power supply in the process. (Wasn't plugged into the Cube thankfully!)

Can someone please tell me if there is an alternative supply manufacturer? Apple has been most unhelpful!!!

Would very much appreciate any help anyone can lend...

Thanks in advance,

If worse comes to worse I think the Dr. Bott DVI to ADC adapters for $150 come with an apple power supply that is compatible with the cube. You might want to check with them to see if it will work or not.
