I just bought a converter (220 -> 110v, no frequency conversion) which was big enough to carry the load. It cost about $150 USD. Absolutely no problem. The rated capacity is enough for my full blown Compaq Deskpro, HP polotter, and letter quality printer (which is still in the USA, haven't needed it yet). I have had NO problems. I do not know the name of the manufacturer, nor do I care. What is important is CAPACITY, and leave some safety margin (don't need to be paranoid, tho). My home CD player works perfectly too, on a very cheapo ( maybe 10-20 USD ) converter.
