As I said above, the PSU has arrived, but unfortunately has an American plug, is it safe to cut this and re wire a British plug to it? or should I just use an adaptor from here on?

Hi

Is this a laptop power supply or a desktop power suppy ?

Most Desktops PSU have a standard IEC connector
(a few servers and big capacity PSU's use a larger non standard connector)

Laptop PSU use a range of connectors and occasionally the cable is hard wired into the psu

There are adapters from US and european plugs to BS 1363 UK plug

Actually it is illegal to supply electrical device with hard wired cable with a foreign plug in UK
ask seller to replace it with UK plug & cable

regards

Mike Barnes
