[I tried e-mailing this to fritz@friday, but cepu complained about not
knowing about friday, even though it was supposed to go through ashtate
first.]

Fritz:

<Perhaps another dumb question... what happens to the cooling fan?  Isn't
<it going to be running from the mains, which are now 250 VAC instead of
<125?

Actually it is 240VAC and 120VAC.  The answer is no, as the fan inside of
the power supply is a DC fan that gets its power from one of the DC outputs
of the supply.
