Servers EnterpriseAll Mac minis ever made came with a universal 110-240V power supply. Earlier models had this in the form of an external white 'brick' which was the power supply newer ones have the power supply completly built-in regardless they will all work equally happily on 110V or 240V.
All you need is either a plug adapter (not a transformer) or a new power lead. Personally I would recommend getting a new power lead.
For the current style Mac mini the following is the right type of cable.
See 3m 10'ft White Figure 8 IEC C7 to UK Mains Plug Mains Power Cable 2.5Amp 2.5 Amp this is a compatible cable.
For older style Mac minis with the external power supply,
See http://www.thebookyard.com/product.php?products_id=7537 (plug in to your existing white Apple 'brick'). This is a genuine Apple cable hence the price.
