Hey, i just gave my dad my G5 tower and hes using it in Korea, of course the voltage is different. How do i change it from the US 110 to the Korean 220 on the power supply. It was a little switch on the G4, but i can't seem to find it in the manual or on the computer itself. Thanks ahead of time!

Here's the Apple document on the topic:

It's auto-switching. Which means that whatever you plug it into, it will just work. Even all but the earliest G4 towers were auto-switching--those switches have been a thing of the past for quite a while.

...except, of course, for the boneheaded decision to save a couple bucks by putting a 120V ONLY power supply on the G5 iMacs sold in the US and Canada. A few people carried theirs to Europe, and boom, no more iMac.
