Will the iMac G3 Work Overseas (220 Volts)?

[BubbaMonkey]

I have a slot-loading iMac G3 and am wondering if it will explode when I plug it into my wall?

You can get one of those world travel voltage adapter kits.

However, most PC power supplies have a 220/110 switch. The iMacs power supply may automatically switch or have a switch available if you open up the case. But I am not too sure on that point.

Yeah, I almost bought one today, but decided to make sure the iMac doesn't have the adapter built in.

Thanks!

I'd just like to add a comment saying I take no responsibility for damage

Please make sure you have a camera at the ready when you plug it in. Would be a shame not to get pics of a Mac blowing up.
