I want to bring a few components (motherboard, processor, HD) purchased in the US to a friend who lives in St Petersburg Russia to install in his case. Are they compatible?
Thanks,
JPCM

Unless you can see the case, that could be a tricky one! But as most cases available have pretty much standard fittings, I cannot see any probs.
Depends on the bits your friend has, any chance he could let you know? Power supply MAY be a problem, connectors may not be compatible with your MOBO & HD.
You have to go a hell of a long way to find out though!

Thanks! I had heard that the only compatibility problem would be with power. Just wanted to see if anyone out there had first-hand experience with US/Europe compatibility. A friend of a friend of a friend knows someone who might have this info for me, but it would be nice to get as much info as possible- I just dont want to get over there with a new mobo, processor, and hd and then find out it doesnt fit! It would leave less room in my luggage for vodka and Matroshka dolls!

all psu's have a switch on back side for 110v/220v. that is for power going into psu. power going to motherboard is still same +/-5, +/-12, +/-3volts whether there in europe or here in north america.

Thanks, ddp. That solves the power question. I asked my Russian friend to email me some specs on his system, so I may be back here in a couple of days with another question or two...Thanks all for the help. Much appreciated!
