on trip in sweden (us computer) over voltage...

[DonButtons]

Brought one of my back up computers from united states, and my 30 and 20' dell along.

Bought some power cords at a ripped off price of $28-30 for each one, and tried out the computer first. It made a loud popping sound then some smoke came out and smelled nasty when I tried to power it up.

Guessing my power supply died. Is it worth to repair, or should I get a new computer?

If so, is their a special power cord or converter I should buy if the local power is all 200-250volts it seems and my computer says 115?

Plugging a 115 into a 220 doesn't seem like a good idea. I did the same thing when I got to Sweden at first, but in my defense, I knew I was supposed to switch it over, but didn't. Just buy a new power supply, that is likely all that is [censored].

All the power supplies I've ever bought have a little switch on the back for going between US and EU voltages. Not sure about PSUs from a major computer manufacturer like Dell, though.
