668351 2008-05-12 02:23:00 I think you are in the wrong forum if you are leaving Britain and plan to sell this unit before you leave. Goo luck. Scouse (83)
668352 2008-05-12 02:49:00 Goo luck.
With that sort of luck, it is hard to see how he can manage it! ;)

668354 2008-05-12 20:36:00 If it is near new why sell it, we have the same power here it will work in NZ. You just need a different power cable from wall to PC which are easy to get.

You will probably pay more for a replacement PC in NZ than yours cost in the UK
