Hey guys! I live in Denmark. And in Denmark we can't get Rosewill products unfortunately :(  But my uncle and aunt lives and USA and they are coming for Christmas this year. So I see this as an opportunity to get the Rosewill Lightning PSU. One of the key reasons I wanna get this PSU is because it looks so freaking awesome :)  But I am afraid that it will die on me and then I will get in a sh*t load of trouble having to sent it back to the US and getting a new one send. As I couldn't figgure out what to do I come to you guys. So please help me guys :)

I've been using a Rosewill 1000watt for over 3 years now. It's never let me down. You should be good to go!

It has Active-PFC with auto AC-input voltage adjustment(100-240V) so it'll work.

You'll have to supply your own AC power cable though, since the North American market version of the PSU will have the wrong AC cable.

Power supplies with Active PFC are generally fine on any electricity grid (as long as the power is reasonably stable). The Rosewill Lightnings are certified to run at the 230V, 50Hz EU standard as well as at the US 115V, 60Hz standard.

The specs for the 800W model:
