Reply: There is a red sticker on the back of it says 115V AC  so i 
would assume that it is not one of the heavier models.  It is a rack 
mont unit as opposed ot being in the black case however. but its stil 
the standard 5 piece unit labled at 115 V AC.  I am using a standard 
three prong power cord.  I live in Maryland. Annpolis baltimore 
area.  Broken psu broken power swtich, transformer, what do i test 
how what do i need to get to fix it and where.  I can install any 
parts my self i just need to know exactly what to buy.
