* Frequency: 47Hz to 63Hz, single phase
* Maximum continuous power: 180W
* Operating temperature: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)
* Storage temperature: -40° to 185° F (-40° to 85° C)
* Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing
* Maximum altitude: 10,000 feet

They do make a dual voltage version of the iMac G5 and, as listed above, the iMac Mini. I can't say for sure whether the US version is the 100-120V or the 100-240V version, but you have the option of purchasing either. Whether you do it in the States or in Europe is a matter of preference and currency.

I will check in the next US Apple store I visit, though. Just to solve the mystery.

wow, usually don't have this much communicating.

iMac bought in the US, will only work in the US or with a voltage convertor, if used OUTSIDE the us.

Historically, the machines came with universal PS, meaning they could be used everywhere, regardless.

Personally, I like having the 100-240 voltage, since I take my machines abroad often.
