A1200 NTSC 110V - OK to use in Europe?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=170646570850

I posted this Ebay link on the market place page a few days ago. I'm thinking of adding an option for international shipping. Is it possible to run an A1200 NTSC 110V in Europe?

Yes, but three things:

1) You'll need a PSU that runs on the voltage that's available in your country.
2) You'll need a monitor that can handle NTSC frame rates. This isn't much of a problem, but it's something to keep in mind. For example: A 1084 monitor can handle both PAL and NTSC.
3) While a NTSC A1200 can handle PAL, it will startup in NTSC and this can be annoying.

Also, 175 dollars seems expensive for an A1200+memory expansion. You can almost get an A1200+'030 accelerator for this price. It's perhaps better to wait until a PAL unit comes along.
