Shesagordie posted an excellent article in this thread.  I hope you were able to read it.

The European Dell support page has power info for the Dimension 8100 here:

Thank you for all of your help. I am still having trouble opening links. Its kind of wierd.

I disconnected the power supply and brought into work with me this morning. One of the IT guys will have a look at it for me. I opted not to chance it, and send it into orbit last night.

I really appreciate all of your help. I will let you know the outcome.
