We sent this Mac by Fedex all the way from Australia it cost $200 (AUD) to send which worked out to a lot more economical than having to sell it in Australia and buy a new one in Japan. As you might have a read a few entries ago Apple would NOT sell us a matching white iMac Japanese power cord for it, so I ended up buy a black PC power cord which works. The power supply in the computer is rated at 100-240V so there is no problem with the computer working in Japan. The computer desk is one we bought from the recycle shop in Takasuki for about 5,000yen. The map of Japan/Calendar on the wall is a freebie I got from BIC Camera in Kyoto. BTW this computer is an iMac G5 which I think is in some ways to superior to the current Intel based iMacs, although if you're wanting to run Windows (why?) on your Mac, then it's better to have an Intel based Mac and run VMWare fussion.
