It's 220, 230 or 240. Some PSUs have 110V or 230v only.
Some have a switch w. 110 or 220 (or 115/230, 120/240).
Some have a internal switch which is automatic.

Make sure you sandpaper the hole, and then put some U rubber over it to avoid sharp edges. Put some grease around the newly drilled hole, and then screw your computer, screw it hard. Maybe install some UV lights and turn em up to indicate that your computer is also excited.

My psu has no switch for 230 and it's made by a British company.

Go figure.
