Products sold in the US have to meet US Federal (and some State) requirements for safety and energy efficiency (and have to carry the appropriate certification). Because the market is so large, it's more cost efficient to produce products specifically for this market.
The only computer products that I have that are 110/240V, are a couple of laptops and a desktop computer. All the rest are 120V only - sometimes with a wall wart (which could of course be changed to 240V) - but the external hard drives, DVD drives, laser printers, routers, etc. are all 120V only. The same goes for stereo equipment and TVs. The only notable exception appears to be flat panel monitors. Mostly the products are the same internally as sold elsewhere in the world, but the internal step-down transformer is only for 120V.

Well I live in Miami and I work in the technology department, all our laptops/netbook/desktop/tablet pc (HP, DELL, Compaq and Toshiba) and macbooks are 110/240V, on desktop you have the voltage switch on the back (usually is pink/magenta). Remember, I said most Laptops/Pc and Digital Cameras, I didn't say small electronics
Flying Machine a real 750w step-down transformer will cost you around 25 u$s, 45 for 1000w. Check on MercadoLibre.com.ar and look for "transformador PS3", must be at least 750w
