Hi,
I have some electronics that I bought in the US and im planning on shipping them back to the UK, but I dont know what I need to get them working safely?
A friend told me something about a step down transformer? I've tried looking at these on the internet but their seems to be a lot of different types and the prices range from £20 to £200. Also they only seem to have 1-2 sockets?
This is the stuff I want to bring back,
My PC
NEC 2490WUXI Monitor
Bose Companion 3 2.1 Speakers
Samsung Plasma TV (can't remember the model)
Playstation 3
And my TV surround sound system
I also have an UPS that i was using for the PC, monitor and speakers, would that be safe to use in a step down transformer? since it would protect my items and also solve the socket problem.
I think this is the UPS I have,

Also i've been told the TV won't work in the UK since we use PAL and america uses NTSC, but is there anyway to get around this? with a converter or something? If not I guess I could still use the TV as a monitor for my PS3...
Anyway please help, Thanks
