It uses the standard Acer power supply- a switching power supply which inputs either 110 or 240v.

Lucky you. I ordered one at around 3.30 yesterday and got the email this morning that my order had been cancelled and my money refunded. Bummer.

I ordered today at 12 today and received notice that it had shipped at 8.

It's strange that they seem to be randomly cancelling some orders..
I ordered Saturday with google checkout, got the shipped notice yesterday.

Strange alright, ordered mine Friday via Google Checkout and Friday evening it was marked as shipped with a 'Parcel Force' tracking number.
Feck all tracking info though when I try to track it, only get 'Express AM'

i ordered it again, third time lucky maybe (300 left in stock). Im getting it shipped to an address different to my billing address, would this be the problem? Still using the googlecheckout.

FWIW the last item I got via Parcel force had been delivered by GLS an hour before the tracking details on the website even showed that it was in the country!

You'll have to copy the disc onto a memory stick or external harddrive and install from there. Or I suppose you could share a drive on another PC on your home network (assuming) and download to the desktop and install from there.
