Foreign PC power issue

If I were to buy a PC built in Europe (specifically Holland) what issues might I have regarding power compatibility? Is it simply a matter of whacking in a UK kettle lead and off you go? Or is there more to consider?

All PSUs (including laptop power adaptors/bricks) are worldwide compatible nowadays, i.e. they can auto-switch between 100~240VAC

So that means zero issues? No little switch or setting to alter or else BANG!!?

They removed the switch at the back, hence Auto-Switching

But do some research on what you buying, especially brand/make of PSU used.
