First off: I dunno if this question belongs in here so feel free to move it if you feel so!
I'm gonna use my NAC with a PC and I was wondering what would be the best solution to do so since the cab requires 100/110v. while the PC rquires double that amount.
If I remember correctly the NAC doesn't have anything open on the back end to let the cable pass (for example like my NNC does) so it would be pretty ugly to leave the front panel wide open to let it pass all the way to the wall.
TYVM for your imputs.

Does the PC really require 220v? Every PSU I've seen in the past 20 years has been dual voltage.

Most PSU's have are auto switching 110/220. Next to that there's a hole in the back of the cab you can use

Re: PC in a NAC, what about the voltage?
I'm not sure for all NAC cabinets, but all i've seen have an AC outlet that could be used to power the PC.
If you wanted to be on the safe side, you could get a manual switch PSU

Aye, I'm pretty sure almost all PC PSU's are auto switching nowadays, and the PC shouldn't need 220vIf you wanted to be on the safe side, you could get a manual switch PSU

I didn't know about the auto-switch thing, thanks for the heads up!

If you want to test safely, disconnect everything from the psu and plug it into the outlet in question. Check for the appropriate voltages at the various outputs from the PSU. Or better yet, if you have a spare to test with, you don't need to risk the PSU you will actually be using.

Re: PC in a NAC, what about the voltage?
My astro city input is 240v, theres a step down to go to 110v for the monitor.
So i just added an extension lead to the back panel above.
Its on the inside so hidden well.
